ADEX: 2021 will be a good year for blueberries
For its part, the Association of Exporters (ADEX) projected a good year for blueberries, whose main market, the United States, will continue to import them after the United States International Trade Commission determined that the volumes entering its territory are not so high and do not pose any threat to its producers.
Figures from the ADEX Data Trade Intelligence System reported that Peru exported fresh blueberries in 2020 for US$ 997,542,000, 22% more than in 2019, reaching an all-time record.
The main market was the United States with nearly US$ 530 million (variation of 14.7%), followed by the Netherlands (42.7%), China (1.8%), United Kingdom (7.4%), Hong Kong (133.2%), Canada, Spain, Belgium and Singapore. New destinations were Taiwan, the Philippines, Guadeloupe and Martinique.
