Blueberries and table grapes are the new stars of Peruvian fresh fruit exports. The quality, size and flavor of the varieties grown have allowed Peru to capture the interest of many markets on the global stage. The notable yearly increase in volume was facilitated by new production areas developed in different regions of Peru.

These rising superfoods add to traditional Peruvian fruit exports like mangoes and organic bananas, as well as other fast-growing products like clementine, ginger and pomegranate.
