South American blueberry exporters aim to boost blueberry demand in global markets
February 16 , 2021
The blueberry industry has new plans after last Thursday when the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) determined in a historic ruling that imported blueberries do not cause serious damage to the domestic industry.
Exporters from South America saw the news as a huge positive for the industry. They spoke to FreshFruitPortal.com about how they will boost blueberry demand in markets such as the U.S., China and Europe and how teamwork brought about results. We have seen the news as very positive, given that in the case of Peru, 50 percent of exports are to the U.S. market, Daniel Bustamente, President of ProArandanos of Peru and Corporate Commercial Manager of Agricola Cerro Prieto said.
