The Central Bank of Peru published data showing Peru’s non-traditional agricultural exports totalled USD 11,151 million in 2024, up 21.5% from 2023, marking the largest annual increase over 2015–2024. The increase was driven mainly by a 17.7% rise in export prices, linked to reduced global supply of Peruvian products early in the year following adverse climatic conditions in 2023, alongside a sharp increase in international cocoa prices (up 147.8%). Export volumes recovered in the second half of 2024 and more than offset early declines, with annual volume up 3.2% supported by strong blueberry exports (up 57.3%). In December 2024, non-traditional agricultural exports reached USD 1,347 million, up 20.5% year on year, reflecting a 19.6% increase in average exported volume and a 0.8% rise in average export prices.
