Panel discussion with experts in the blueberry industry from Peru and Chile

Thomas Fichet, professor at the Department of Agricultural Production of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Chile, noted that phytohormones regulate all stages of a plant's life cycle.

Unlike previous campaigns, the peak of the season will not occur in just one week, as it has been and is until now, but will be sustained at high shipping rates for approximately 6 weeks, from week 37 to 44, with volumes above 20 thousand tons per week.

Analysis of the global situation of the blueberry industry, the effects of the tariff imposed by the United States, and the role Peru plays in the international market.

Daniel Díaz, Ph.D. in Physiology from Michigan State University, mentioned that the use of regulators can influence several aspects of fruit growth.

Agricultural engineer Juan Hirzel, a researcher at INIA, gives recommendations for producing fruit with optimal firmness, size, and weight.

He indicated that growth brings new challenges.

"From the beginning of the seminar, an analysis was conducted of the blueberry industry in Peru, as the world's leading exporter, and the challenges it faces in a growing industry affected by various factors."

Jorge Esquivel, director of Blueberries Consulting: “This is a very special year for us, because it marks ten years since we organized our first event in Peru.

The area under cultivation is resuming its growth rate, rising from 21.471 hectares last season to 24.571 tons. These 3.100 hectares return to the rate established until the 2023-2024 season, which ranged from 2.000 to 3.000 hectares of new cultivation projects per year.

The successful use of new technologies was evident on the ground, and the team of professionals and technicians provided extensive information on data, costs, returns, and experience in addressing the challenges of the area, which is very favorable for blueberry production but also presents challenges.

The Trujillo region of Peru has proven to be a strategic player in blueberry production, thanks to its climatic conditions, infrastructure, technological innovation, and access to international markets. Its development continues to be essential to sustaining the growth of the sector in the country.

The blueberries are part of the first shipment of the 2025-2026 season, which left from the Chancay Megaport and achieved a record-breaking delivery.

We are facing a global reality that demands an adaptive and resilient strategy that allows us to take advantage of opportunities and mitigate associated risks.

Comparisons based on absolute capacities, however, are insufficient. What's at stake is not who builds the largest infrastructure, but who has the strongest, most resilient, and most adaptable port governance for the challenges of the 21st century.

This remarkable growth not only reflects the sector's productive capacity, but also its ability to adapt and recover quickly from adverse weather conditions, such as those experienced in 2023.
