Peruvian blueberry exports are progressing slightly above the August projection, driven by growth in conventional fruit exports. Through week 33, this segment totaled 63.857 tons, 74% more than in the same period of the previous season and 5% above the projected figure.

Organic exports are following a different trajectory. Shipments reached 2.880 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 25% and a 33% shortfall compared to the August projection. In total, Peru has exported 66.737 tons in the 2026/27 season, 65% more than a year ago.

The additional growth comes from conventional sources.

Compared to the same period in 2025/26, conventional production has increased by approximately 27.200 tons, a rise even greater than the net growth recorded for total exports. This difference is explained by the fact that organic production is nearly 950 tons lower than in the comparable period.

The contrast is also reflected in the composition of shipments. At this point last season, organic sales represented approximately 9,5% of the total volume; currently, they hover around 4,3%.

The proportion may still change as the season progresses. The projected curve for organic production anticipates higher volumes later on, so the performance up to week 33 does not, by itself, predict its share at the end of the season.

Organic sales remain below the August trend.

The August projection already anticipated a lower volume of organic exports compared to 2025/26. However, the actual progress remains even below that forecast.

The shortfall has been observed since week 31. In week 33, organic shipments reached 521 tons, compared to the 921 tons projected for that period. Meanwhile, the total volume for the season is around 2% above projection, and conventional production is 5% above projection.

The report does not identify the causes of this gap, so it is not yet possible to establish whether it is mainly due to a lag in the supply schedule or a difference that could remain throughout the season.

The reported organic volume also appears to be concentrated among a few exporters. Agualima, Agrícola Cerro Prieto, and Gourmet Blueberries Peru account for approximately 77% of the total registered for this segment. Proarándanos clarifies, however, that the organic data series is compiled from information provided by a significant number of companies and estimates for the remaining ones.

The next updates will allow us to see if organic sales begin to close the gap with the August figures as we move into the weeks of highest expected volume. If the gap persists, the performance of this segment will become one of the key indicators to watch in a campaign whose growth, so far, has been driven by conventional sales.
