Camposol inaugurates the Peruvian blueberry season in Asia with the first arrival at the ocean
Camposol, a global leader in Peruvian agricultural exports, announced that the first ocean shipment of fresh Peruvian blueberries to Asia this season successfully arrived at the Port of Kaohsiung on June 23, marking the official start of the 2025/26 season for the Asian market.
New shipping routes from the Peruvian port of Chancay have significantly reduced transit times to Asia for Camposol's fruit. Major distribution centers such as Shanghai, Tianjin, Singapore, and Kaohsiung are already benefiting from this increased efficiency. Luis Miguel BaananteGeneral manager Camposol China, commented: "Shorter transit times will improve the competitiveness of Peruvian blueberries in the Asian market and lay a solid foundation for further expansion."
The executive director of Camposol, Ricardo Naranjo, added: "Thanks to the Port of Chancay route and the strong collaboration between our team and our partners, our ability to deliver fresh, premium-quality blueberries to Asia is stronger than ever. But our goals aren't limited to speed or being first to market; they're also about consolidating our leadership in quality and reliability in key markets."
Camposol exports more fresh Peruvian produce than any other company and is also the country's largest blueberry exporter. Taking advantage of Peru's unique geographic advantages, the company has managed to produce and supply fresh blueberries year-round. To better complement the local production seasons of its target markets, Camposol strategically adjusts its supply schedules. For example, from March to May, when Yunnan blueberries dominate the Chinese market, Camposol reduces its supply to China. Rather than viewing Yunnan blueberries as competition, Camposol recognizes improved quality and increasing export volume as catalysts for driving overall demand for fresh blueberries. This, in turn, increases import demand during the off-season in China.
According to the projections of the Peruvian Association of Blueberry Producers (Pro-blueberries)Peruvian blueberry production is expected to experience 26% year-over-year growth in the 2025/26 season, with Asia accounting for a significant portion of this increase. Baanante emphasized: “The Camposol brand is widely recognized for its consistent quality and reliability. Our blueberries are trusted throughout the supply chain for their low damage rate, excellent appearance, and balanced sweet and sour flavor. Their affordability and long shelf life make them particularly suitable for long-distance shipping, especially to markets like mainland China. This reliability has cemented our reputation as a preferred supplier in Asia.”
As a major importer of fruits from the Southern Hemisphere to China, Camposol China, founded in 2017, has successfully introduced high-quality products such as blueberries, avocados, cherries, grapes, mangoes, and mandarins to the Chinese market. This recent arrival at the Port of Kaohsiung underscores Camposol's strategic commitment to consolidating its presence in Asia by offering fruits of consistent quality and reliable performance.
