Avocados in Peru: Heading Towards Maturity
The webinar for this country profile is now available on our webinars page.
In mid-2024, our collaborators at CIRAD traveled to Peru, to engage the industry in taking a in-depth look at the recent activities that have been taken in the production areas to capture an updated look at what our expectations are for the second-largest exporter of Hass avocados in the world.
How did the Peruvian avocado industry evolve in the past five years? What can we expect in the next five years? Explore the avocado production prospects in Peru and how the country is heading toward maturity in the latest Country report, written by Carolina Dawson, Agro-economist at CIRAD, who traveled to Peru to find out the answers to these questions. Read the report and learn all of the details of their profile study, created through detailed engagement with avocado growers and exporters in Peru. Learn about planting rates, growing technology improvements, weather-impacted changes seen in Peru over the last five years, and the potential implications to the projected supply prospects.
Also, learn about the Peruvian growing regions, and how they are expanding or contracting. Learn about their global engagement, and where their fruit goes to market. Learn about their engagement with countries as close as Chile, and as far away as the EU and China!
See how our last Country profile accurately predicted the country’s growth as a significant global player and find out what’s next for this international avocado juggernaut.
“As we predicted in our previous profile published in 2019, Peru has become a giant of the international avocado trade, with exports of nearly 600 000 tonnes to the major markets all around the world. The industry remains at the cutting edge in technical terms, though its profitability has fallen in a more uncertain commercial and climate context. Production should continue to grow over the coming years, albeit at a lower rate, because of more limited investment, and this should be more to do with increased competitiveness than a major expansion of the cultivation area.”
