The numbers accompany it and there is already talk of a "second wave of consumption", since it is projected to continue growing significantly in the next five years, both in the US (25%), and in Europe (75%) and above all in China (130%), so it is a crop with great economic projection, although the industry data must be made transparent to review its true profitability and projections.

Make the industry transparent

In the program of the seminars scheduled by Blueberries Consulting for Peru, Chile and Mexico, it is stipulated that the costs and profitability of blueberry cultivation be analyzed in detail, as a way of making the industry transparent and being able to safely plan the steps to be followed in the future.
