Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh cherries in Peru showed considerable movement from 2018 to 2023. After reaching 1,888 t in 2019, the total market volume contracted to 1,322 t by 2021, then recovered to 1,663 t in 2022 before stabilizing at 1,628 t in 2023. The initial production capacity was supported by research and trials initiated before 2018 to adapt cherry varieties to the Peruvian climate.

The market's recovery in 2022 was driven by a rebound in imports, which had fallen sharply in the previous two years. By 2023, ongoing experimentation with adapted varieties and regulatory steps, including SENASA's evaluation of permits for importing genetic material, were key developments for the incipient cultivation sector, coinciding with a period of market stabilization.
