Peru as an Emerging World Exporter of Fruits and Vegetables

Over the past two decades,Peru has emerged as a significant fruit and vegetable exporter.  


    
  The United States is one of its most important markets. This rise in exports was driven by advantages in climate, low production costs, and preferential trading arrangements with major countries.

   Asparagus was the first, and remains the most prominent, example of Peru’s success as a major exporter of fruit and vegetable products.

   20 years ago Peruvian asparagus would not be found in the shops whilst now Peru is the largest exporter of fresh asparagus and is second only to China in its exports of processed asparagus.
