Earlier Report Observations
Peruvian quince production rose from 4,851 tonnes in 2018 to 6,214 tonnes in 2019, a period when industry attention focused on the fruit's export potential and the distinct quality of varieties from Lahuaytambo. The market held nearly steady at 6,176 tonnes in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic shifted mass consumption patterns and accelerated a trend toward healthier, sustainably presented products.
Output fell sharply to 3,679 tonnes in 2021, a year that saw quince prices increase to around $48, indicating a tighter supply. High inflation of 8.46% in 2022 further reduced consumer purchasing power, contributing to another decline to 3,370 tonnes. A modest recovery to 3,466 tonnes followed in 2023, supported by the expansion of self-service retail channels like supermarkets, which offered milder price increases than traditional outlets, alongside continued digitalization in shopping and health-focused consumption trends.
Market dynamics into 2024 continued to be influenced by moderate inflation, innovation in products and packaging, and a sustained consumer preference for healthy and sustainable options, though no specific new regulations for quinces were reported.
