Peru has accumulated 3.342 tons of blueberry frozen exports up to week 34 of the 2026/27 campaign, 14% more than at the same date of the previous season, when 2.927 tons were recorded.

According to the “Frozen Blueberry Report” of Pro-blueberriesThe current volume also far exceeds the 1.405 tons accumulated in the 2024/25 campaign. In two seasons, therefore, shipments at this point in the cycle have more than doubled.

Proarándanos warns, however, that the information corresponding to the last six weeks is not yet 100% complete, so the figures should be understood as a preliminary campaign report and not as final results.

The United States leads while Germany and Poland accelerate

The United States received 775 tons, equivalent to 23% of the exported volume, an increase of 17% compared to the previous season.

The United Kingdom also remains among the main destinations, with 474 tons and a 14% share, although it registers a year-on-year drop of 15%.

Among European markets, Germany and Poland show some of the most significant growth during this period. Germany reached 288 tons, a 118% increase, while Poland reached 284 tons, a 57% increase.

However, the behavior is not homogeneous among the different European destinations, so the data show relevant movements in specific markets rather than a uniform expansion of the region.

Almost half of the volume is distributed among other destinations

The report groups 1.521 tons under the category “other” markets, equivalent to 46% of the exported volume, with a combined growth of 9%.

Within that group are the Netherlands, with 308 tons; Canada, with 296; Spain, with 198; Chile, with 167; Belgium, with 136; and Guatemala, with 120 tons. South Korea, Greece, Japan, and Montenegro are also included.

The variations are very different between markets. Canada and Spain registered increases of over 200%, while Belgium grew by 184%. Conversely, the Netherlands decreased by 23%, Chile fell by 54%, and Japan declined by 82%.

The distribution shows that a significant portion of the volume is spread across numerous destinations, although with very different year-on-year behaviors.

Three companies account for approximately 74% of shipments

The export supply shows a significant concentration.

According to the overall ranking included in the report, Camposol accounts for 41% of frozen blueberry exports, followed by Viru Frozen, with 21%, and Viru, with 12%.

Together, the three companies account for nearly three-quarters of the total volume.

Further down the list are Dominus, Sunshine Export, and other companies.

Exporters' participation varies depending on the destination. Camposol has a particularly significant presence in the United Kingdom, Poland, and Germany, while the US market shows a different distribution among participating companies.

Prices slightly higher

The increase in volume occurs with an average FOB price slightly higher than that recorded at the same time in the previous campaign.

The report records an average FOB price of USD 2,55 for 2026/27, compared to USD 2,51 in 2025/26 and USD 2,24 in 2024/25. The median for the current campaign reaches USD 2,91.

The difference compared to last season is limited, so the main change observed so far continues to be in the growth of volume and in the evolution of certain markets.

A still small segment compared to the fresh

El blueberry frozen It continues to represent a considerably smaller scale than the fresh business within the Peruvian industry.

However, the increase from 1.405 tons in 2024/25 to the 3.342 tons accumulated in the current campaign shows that the segment has gained volume within the Peruvian export supply.

Up to week 34, the segment presents three concrete signs: a higher volume than in the two previous campaigns, important changes in the composition of destinations and a slightly higher average FOB price than in the past cycle.

The evolution of the next few weeks will determine how much of this progress is maintained at the end of the campaign.
