Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh aubergines in Peru showed considerable volatility in volume from 2018 to 2023. After a decline to 356 t in 2019, market size recovered to a peak of 484 t in 2021. This was followed by a sharp contraction to 305.5 t in 2022, before a rebound to 381.8 t in 2023.

Market analysis for 2022 and 2023 indicates that taste, rather than price, is a primary decision factor for Peruvian consumers of fresh fruits and vegetables, including aubergines. A growing consumer interest in fresh and healthy products supported domestic demand during this period. The market recovery in 2023 coincided with broader trends in the frozen fruit and vegetable sector, where consumer curiosity about new flavors and products may have provided indirect stimulus for fresh aubergine consumption.

While Peru has established itself as a significant exporter of other fresh vegetables, with shipments to Mexico valued at $3.2 million in 2024, export volumes for fresh aubergines specifically remained marginal throughout the review period, indicating the market is primarily driven by domestic production and consumption.
