Peru: growth with a changing mix and expansion of destinations

Peru's growth stems primarily from the conventional segment, which reached 298.296 tons (+23%), while organic production fell to 27.821 tons (-12%). For producers and exporters, this difference is crucial because it directly impacts marketing programs, costs, and value-added strategies for each market.

Also noteworthy is the surge in the "Other Destinations" category (+122%), which expands diversification to more countries and increases the commercial and logistical complexity associated with new requirements.

Chile: return to historical levels and greater weight in the year-end window

Chile has accumulated 37.548 tons of blueberries By week 51, production had practically reached its recent all-time high, showing a 46% increase compared to the previous season.

On a weekly basis, Chilean performance shows a peak in week 50 and a decline in week 51, consistent with the traditional shape of its curve. The current behavior can be associated with the progress in varietal replacement of blueberries and also to logistical changes in processes and shipments.

Mexico: Northern window and commercial benchmark for the first quarter

Mexico added 23.259 tons (+13%) in week 51 and is entering its upward phase. Its strategic importance lies in its supply window (weeks 1–20), when sources in the Southern Hemisphere reduce their presence, and its logistical proximity typically influences the price floor in the United States during the first quarter.
