Oscar Quiñones, head of the Institute for Research and Development of Foreign Trade of the Chamber of Commerce of Lima (CCL), indicated that these fruits have been consolidated in European and American markets.

Peruvian fruit exports will continue to rise this year. And the star crops will once again be grapes that would register shipments for US $ 1,214.5 million, that is, a growth of 16% compared to last year, while blueberries would achieve US $ 1,113.7 million, which is equivalent to an increase of 11 %, as projected by the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri).
For the head of the Institute for Research and Development of Foreign Trade of the Chamber of Commerce of Lima (CCL), Oscar Quiñones, this projected performance demonstrates the consolidation of Peruvian products in the European and US markets.

"We are the first supplier of blueberries in the United States and the European market is growing little by little," said the representative of the CCL.
