Earlier Report Observations

Peru's market for fresh leguminous vegetables opened the period at 238 thousand tons in 2018. That year, strong export growth for fresh fruits and vegetables, which increased by 21.9% to $3.7 billion, helped support domestic production and maintained market volume. A dip to 223 thousand tons followed in 2019 before a recovery to 233 thousand tons in 2020.

Market volume grew steadily over the next two years, reaching 258 thousand tons by 2022. This expansion was driven by rising consumer interest in vegan products and new flavors, with Peruvian exports of vegan foods to Spain reaching €690 million in 2022, stimulating demand for fresh vegetables. However, in 2023, volume contracted to 249 thousand tons as exports of preserved and frozen fruits and vegetables fell by 5.7%, reflecting weaker external demand for Peruvian produce.

In value terms, the market increased from $486 million in 2018 to $572 million in 2022, indicating generally higher prices, before a slight decrease to $561 million in 2023.
