Peru avocado sector sees historic export volumes to Europe
In Peru, the Hass avocado sector is experiencing significant developments in both production standards and export volumes. Westfalia Fruit reports that Peruvian avocado exports to Europe are reaching historic volumes, even as the industry faces challenges such as high global supply and downward pressure on prices.
To support these trends, companies are investing in technical training for small-scale producers. In the Chuquitambo region of Pataz, an alliance between Danper and Compañía Minera Poderosa is working to enhance the competitiveness of local Hass avocado growers. The initiative focuses on identifying production gaps and preparing farmers for GLOBALG. A. P. certification, which validates international standards for food safety, traceability, and environmental sustainability.
Technical improvements being implemented in these regions include the installation of weather stations and the adoption of systematic field management practices to ensure crops meet the requirements of the international agro-export chain.
