, announced that the 2024-2025 grape campaign registered the export of 562,093 tons, solidifying Peru's position as the world leader in exports for the second consecutive year.
Peruvian grape exports reached 44 international markets. 83% of these shipments were concentrated in three key markets: The United States (46%), Europe (24%), and Mexico (8%), with notable mentions including the United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, Hong Kong, Colombia, China, and Taiwan.
In Peru, the grape export season runs primarily from October to April of the following year. It includes more than 56 types of table grapes.
The most exported varieties are "Sweet Globe," "Red Globe," and "Allison," which are the most in demand in the international market.
A few weeks before the end of the export season, Senasa authorized 137 packing plants and certified more than 22,000 hectares of cultivation, mainly in the following regions: Ica (47%) and Piura (36%), followed by Lambayeque (7%), La Libertad (4.8%), Arequipa (3.8%), and other regions such as Ancash, Lima, Moquegua, Tacna, and Cajamarca, which together account for 1.4%.
It is important to note that these results would not have been possible without the active participation of producers, agricultural organizations, and authorities, who remain committed to leading integrated efforts to control the fruit fly pest under Senasa's technical guidance.
In recent years, Senasa secured access for Peruvian grapes to Japan, China, and Ecuador, in a joint effort with the Table Grape Producers Association (ProVid), helping to add to the 92 international markets that already enjoy these Peruvian products.
In a bid to promote the sustainable growth of this agro-export sector, Senasa has taken an important step by initiating, for the first time in South America, phytosanitary certification for the export of fresh fruits in refrigerated cargo holds of ships (under cold treatment) at the Port of Paracas (Ica region) starting in December 2024.
To expand the commercial portfolio and further strengthen the export growth of Peruvian producers, collaboration continues with the private sector, including the Peruvian Exporters Association (Adex).
This key organization, during the 23rd Agroexporter Luncheon, recognized Senasa's head, Vilma Gutarra, as an outstanding public official for her role in securing international market access for Peruvian agricultural products.
In this regard, negotiations continue with the counterpart authorities in Israel, Chile, and the Philippines to secure access.
With these advances, Midagri and Senasa reaffirmed their commitment to agrarian health and sustainability in grape production and export, aiming to establish the country as a benchmark in the global market.
