Peruvian blueberry exports.

During the International Blueberries Trujillo 2026 Seminar, the Australian ambassador to Peru highlighted the potential of the Peruvian agro-industry and noted that both countries face common challenges in climate, productive efficiency and use of agricultural technology.

The specialist explained that high temperatures can increase plant stress, modify disease pressure, and reduce the effectiveness of control if strategies are not implemented in anticipation of the symptom.

At the XLII International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026, representatives from Fall Creek Peru, Planasa Peru, BioTECNOS and ByBlue BV analyzed how varietal replacement should balance productivity, climate adaptation, post-harvest life, consumer experience and supply reliability to sustain the value of Peruvian blueberries.

The closing panel of the International Blueberries Consulting Seminar in Trujillo brought together five specialists from different disciplines, who agreed that the new climate scenario necessitates a rethinking of crop management, from plant physiology to post-harvest handling. Prevention, monitoring, and knowledge integration were the main conclusions of a discussion that synthesized the lessons learned during two days of technical sessions at the event in Trujillo, Peru.

The 42nd International Seminar of Blueberries Consulting brought together producers, technology providers, specialists and companies in the supply chain, who highlighted the value of networking, innovation and access to useful information for making decisions in an increasingly demanding industry.

The Chilean researcher argued that global warming is already altering the physiology of the crop and that the challenge for the industry will not only be to produce more fruit, but also to understand how the plant responds to an increasingly extreme environment. Genetics, management, and environment must be integrated to build more resilient production systems.

“The growth of the global blueberry industry will increasingly depend on the ability to integrate genetic innovation, agronomic management, and adaptation strategies in the face of an increasingly uncertain climate,” was the shared vision among researchers, advisors, and companies on the last day of the industry meeting in Trujillo.

At the 42nd International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026, the post-harvest specialist explained that rising temperatures can accelerate dehydration and loss of firmness in blueberries. Given this scenario, she suggested that producers and exporters must shorten the time between harvesting, processing, and cooling, as well as measure how each variety responds to heat.

Market research, physiology, nutrition, and health all converge on the conclusion that the competitiveness of blueberries will increasingly depend on their ability to adapt to a more complex production environment and more demanding consumers. The first day of the meeting in Trujillo confirmed that the Peruvian industry is already preparing for this new scenario.

At the XLII International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026, Luis Miguel Vegas explained that Peru started the 2026–2027 season with more than double the exported volume compared to the previous year, but Proarándanos will project the campaign in stages due to the possible impact of El Niño on size, health, condition and exportable percentage.

At the XLII International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026, the specialist in post-harvest, marketing and commercialization of fresh products will analyze how climate, logistics, cold chain and handling affect the post-harvest life and the quality with which the fruit arrives at the market.

With over a thousand confirmed attendees and six years of continuity in the city, the XLII International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026 will bring together producers, exporters, advisors, companies and specialists in an edition marked by technical knowledge, innovation, business presence and commercial linkage.

The agronomist, with a master's degree in Phytopathology and a professor at the National Agrarian University La Molina, analyzes how varietal change is raising the standard of the Peruvian blueberry, a discussion he will resume in Trujillo when addressing strategies in the face of El Niño and diseases in the crop.

In a stage of productive recovery, the XLII International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026 will address how market signals, varietal replacement and arrival conditions are redefining the decisions of Peruvian producers and exporters.

With a strong coastal El Niño projected until October, producers and exporters will need to adjust field management, sanitation, harvesting and post-harvest practices to protect fruit condition and compliance with commercial programs.

In a scenario of greater climate variability, the XLII International Blueberries Seminar Trujillo 2026 will focus on how to adjust sanitary management in the face of El Niño to protect productivity, fruit quality and arrival condition.

If there is a presentation capable of setting the pulse of the global blueberry industry and explaining the true behavior of new varieties, market mobility, the reasons for price fluctuations, agronomic and climatic challenges, and above all, industry projections, it is the one that Luis Miguel Vegas delivers every year during the International Blueberry Seminar in Trujillo.

In 2026, Blueberries Consulting will launch a global seminar agenda combining technical and commercial conferences, a high-traffic trade zone with booths and one-on-one meetings, the Agtech Hall featuring nutrition and biostimulation, and hands-on experiences. The tour kicks off in Lima, Peru, and continues through Chile, Mexico, Morocco, China, and two additional locations in Peru (Ica and Trujillo). The goal is to transform knowledge into decisions and decisions into results.
