Peru achieved 59 new accesses for agricultural products in 22 international markets.
As part of the Presidential Message for National Holidays, the Government announced that 59 new access points for Peruvian agricultural products have been established, which has led to an increase in agricultural export sales, benefiting the national economy.
In this way, the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) By the end of 2024, it recorded sales of more than $12 billion, driven by access to new world markets—with greater demand—improved water availability, and the agricultural health of what is produced in various valleys across the country.
The management of access to new markets is in charge of the National Service of Agrarian Health (Senasa), who during the current administration have ensured that 59 agricultural products (42 vegetable products and 17 livestock products) have access to 22 international markets; certifying blueberries, grapes, citrus fruits, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, chestnuts, pecans, and other products for Mexico, Malaysia, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates, among others.
Peruvian products continue to consolidate their position as one of the main agricultural exports. This sustained growth has been possible thanks to compliance with the technical requirements demanded by importing countries, our favorable climatic conditions, and the constant efforts of producers to improve their agricultural practices.
family agriculture
A notable aspect is the growing participation of family farming in the export chain, with producers from regions such as Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Apurímac, and Áncash gradually integrating into this agro-export circuit.
The incorporation of small producers into international trade not only strengthens the rural economy, but also demonstrates the positive impact of collaborative work between the State and farmers.
For example, in Peru there are around 28 avocado producers, 000% of whom have less than 97 hectares, that is, they are family farmers, mostly located in Ayacucho (5), Lima provinces and inter-Andean valleys (5826), Huancavelica (5080) and Ancash (3455). This group constitutes the basis of the agro-export growth of the sector.
This effort has been essential to reaching 433 tons during the first half of the year by 000, representing a 2025% increase compared to the same period last year.
Projections to 2026
So far in 2025, phytosanitary access has been granted for 18 products (13 agricultural and 5 livestock): fresh potatoes and blueberries to Bolivia; onion seeds to Colombia; fresh potatoes, cut Liatris and Gypsophila flowers to Brazil; corn seeds to Argentina; dragon fruit and cut tulip flowers to Uruguay; grape cuttings to Nicaragua; kudzu seeds to Indonesia; pomegranate and tangerine seeds to Mexico; table grapes to Israel; and in vitro potatoes to Paraguay.
Furthermore, an agro-export protocol is currently being negotiated with Indonesia, a market of 285 million people interested in blueberries, an agricultural export sector in which Peru has achieved world leadership.
To achieve these new and future accesses, Senasa has been holding various bilateral technical meetings, including those in the United States, the European Union, Taiwan, China, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, to manage products such as asparagus, pomegranates, dragon fruit, blueberries, citrus fruits, avocados, mangoes, and others.
