Peru s organic blueberry supply is expected to increase in 2021
According to Susana Yturry, Agroexport manager of the Association of Exporters (ADEX), the growing demand for organic blueberries and the attractive prices of this fruit suggest that the export supply of Peru, the world s main exporter of this berry in 2020, will increase this year.
Last year, conventional blueberry accounted for 96.3% of shipments and organic blueberry only accounted for 3.7%. Despite having this modest share of total shipments, in 2020 organic blueberries showed significant growth in terms of volume and value over the previous year, as shipments went from 135 tons to 4,000 tons worth $31 million, i.e. 40 times more than in 2019.
