The Central Bank of Peru published data showing that non-traditional exports increased 12.8% year on year in September 2025 to USD 2.135bn, driven by a 22.7% rise in export volumes. Over January to September, non-traditional exports totalled USD 16.394bn, up 17.1% versus the same period in 2024. The September result reflected higher shipped volumes in agribusiness, fisheries and non-metallic mining, while lower agricultural product prices partially offset the increase due to greater international supply of Peruvian fruits. Cumulative growth over January to September was supported by a 21.7% rise in export volumes, led by fishery products (up 44.1%) and agricultural products (up 32.8%). In a regional comparison for the 12 months to September, Peru recorded non-traditional export growth of 17.4%, above Colombia (12.9%), Mexico (7.3%) and Chile (6.0%), using country-specific exclusions for commodities and other items. Within non-traditional exports, agricultural shipments reached USD 1.242bn in September (up 16.3%), underpinned by a 38.0% increase in volumes and sharp rises in avocados (up 143.9%), blueberries (up 55.5%), cocoa (up 45.8%) and other frozen fruits (up 65.8%). Non-traditional fishery exports rose to USD 177m (up 37.9%), supported by a 35.3% volume increase linked to greater jumbo squid availability, including jumps in frozen jumbo squid (up 690%) and canned jumbo squid (up 626.7%).
