BLUEBERRIES: PERU STILL GROWING IN 2023, ESTIMATED +25%

394

365,000 tons of blueberries exports are expected in the 2023 season. This is an increase of about 25 percent over the previous year.

As reported by eurofruit in reference to FreshFruit Peru, this growth is due to new acreage coming into production in the second half of the year, increased exports in the first quarter, and social unrest that caused the postponement of the harvest and thus greater availability of fruit for shipment in the coming weeks.

However, the increase in volume could not be absorbed in terms of value due to falling international prices. The company expects total sales to reach $1.7 billion in 2023, up 21 percent from the previous year. Peru exported a total of 292,000 tons of blueberries worth $1.405 billion.

Post-holiday effect: falling prices and limited volumes in Bologna
In Bologna, prices are falling, especially for blueberries, due to the drop in consumption after the holidays. Blackberries and raspberries, on the other hand, remain strong. The quality remains fresh, as do the production batches, but there is a general decline in the quantity of SKUs on the shelves, to the point of a few stock breaks. Chilean blueberries appeared for the first time, generally presenting good quality. Supply from Mexico for raspberries also continued, a sign of the lack of European supply at the moment (Morocco, Spain, Italy and Portugal).
