The Central Reserve Bank of Peru reported that exports totalled USD 23,438 million in the third quarter of 2025, up USD 2,793 million (13.5%) from the same quarter a year earlier. The increase was driven by stronger export prices, mainly for traditional products (up 18.9%), alongside higher shipped volumes of non-traditional products (up 19.0%), led by agriculture (up 35.5%) and fishing (up 30.5%). The bank highlighted higher sales of blueberries (during the quarter’s campaign), avocados, frozen mango, and cocoa and cocoa products, as well as greater availability of jumbo flying squid biomass that supported a sharp rise in frozen and canned squid shipments. On a trailing four-quarter basis, total exports reached 26.6% of GDP as of the third quarter of 2025, compared with 25.4% in the third quarter of 2024.
