Earlier Report Observations

The Peruvian walnut market volume grew from 899 t in 2018 to 1 245 t in 2019, supported by a strong presence of state-owned companies in agriculture and a focus on organic and sustainable certifications that enhanced the sector's profile. This expansion was interrupted in 2020 when the market declined to 1 138 t due to COVID-19 pandemic disruptions to supply chains and consumption, alongside adjustments in export policies and sanitary measures.

A sharp recovery followed in 2021, with market volume reaching 1 680 t as the industry adapted to new sanitary and labeling regulations for exports, strengthening traceability and certifications to maintain international market access. After a contraction to 1 385 t in 2022, which coincided with increased private and state investments to expand production capacity and improve export infrastructure, the market grew again to 1 475 t in 2023. This later increase was driven by rising international demand for Peruvian walnuts due to organic certifications, the entry of new export market players, and reinforced traceability policies.

In 2024, global volatility in international markets and monetary policies of major economies influenced demand and prices, while Peru continued to bolster export support policies, logistics, and the promotion of organic and sustainable certifications to maintain competitiveness.
