The Peruvian highlands have already established themselves as a major player in terms of export volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last two harvest seasons (2024 and 2025), volumes from the highlands accounted for 16.80% and 10.23% of the country\u2019s total exports. Between January and March 2026, more than 80,000 metric tons (MT) of avocados were shipped from this region, a figure that is expected to reach 88,000 MT by the end of the year. This would be equivalent to approximately 12.50% of the national estimate, projected at 705,585 MT, representing a 3% decline from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, through week 12, the volume of exports is 27% higher than last year, with more than 3,600 containers. This volume was shipped primarily to Europe (75%), followed by Asia (16%) and Latin America, which accounted for only 6%. Europe alone posted 39% year-over-year growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Need to Organize Shipments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Given this, it is necessary to break down Peru\u2019s estimated shipments by four-month periods so that markets\u2014especially in Europe\u2014have a clear understanding of the volumes they will receive, thereby ensuring a more orderly marketing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The proposal would be to divide shipments into three periods: January\u2013April (with fruit from the highlands and part of the north), May\u2013August (the main season), and September\u2013December. This way, markets would have a better overview of arrivals and could organize marketing more efficiently. Talking about a total of 705,585 metric tons for this season without breaking down the shipment months by month will only create a negative impression, even if the estimated volume is lower than in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Logistical Differences by Destination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Transit times to our destinations clearly vary: the average transit time to Europe is 22 days, to Asia 25 days, to the United States 14 days, and to Chile less than 10 days. Given that Europe accounts for about 65% of our volume, we have valuable information that can help us maximize the prices paid to producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This season will be particularly challenging from a logistical standpoint (costs, frequency, container availability, etc.), so let's get ready because It's already started!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La sierra peruana ya se ha consolidado como un actor importante en t\u00e9rminos de los vol\u00famenes que exporta. En las \u00faltimas dos campa\u00f1as (2024 y 2025), los vol\u00famenes provenientes de la sierra representaron el 16,80% y el 10,23% del total exportado por el pa\u00eds. Entre enero y marzo de 2026 se han enviado m\u00e1s de 80.000 toneladas m\u00e9tricas (TM) de palta desde esta regi\u00f3n, cifra que al cierre del a\u00f1o alcanzar\u00eda las 88.000 TM. Esto equivaldr\u00eda aproximadamente al 12,50% del estimado nacional, proyectado en 705.585 TM, lo que representa una ca\u00edda del 3% respecto al a\u00f1o anterior. Adem\u00e1s, hasta la semana 12, el volumen exportado es un 27% mayor que el del a\u00f1o pasado, con m\u00e1s de 3.600 contenedores. Este volumen se destin\u00f3 principalmente a Europa (75%), seguido por Asia (16%) y LATAM con solo un 6%. Solo Europa registr\u00f3 un crecimiento del 39% de un a\u00f1o a otro. La necesidad de ordenar los env\u00edos Siendo as\u00ed, resulta necesario separar los env\u00edos estimados de Per\u00fa por cuatrimestres, de modo que los mercados tengan claridad sobre los vol\u00famenes que recibir\u00e1n, especialmente en Europa, y as\u00ed se logre una comercializaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s ordenada. La propuesta ser\u00eda dividir los env\u00edos en tres periodos: enero-abril (con fruta de la sierra y parte del norte), mayo-agosto (temporada principal) y septiembre-diciembre. De esta manera, los mercados tendr\u00edan una mejor visi\u00f3n de los arribos y podr\u00edan organizar con mayor eficiencia la comercializaci\u00f3n. Hablar de un total de 705.585 TM para esta campa\u00f1a sin desagregar los meses de salida solo generar\u00e1 una mala sensaci\u00f3n, aun cuando se estime un volumen menor que en 2025. Diferencias log\u00edsticas por destino El tiempo de tr\u00e1nsito hacia nuestros destinos claramente no es el mismo: a Europa el tiempo promedio es de 22 d\u00edas, a Asia de 25 d\u00edas, a Estados Unidos de 14 d\u00edas y a Chile menos de 10 d\u00edas. Considerando que Europa recibe cerca del 65% de nuestro volumen, podemos contar con informaci\u00f3n valiosa para maximizar los precios de retorno a los productores. Esta temporada ser\u00e1 especialmente desafiante en lo log\u00edstico (costos, frecuencias, disponibilidad de contenedores, etc.), as\u00ed que a prepararnos que \u00a1ya comenz\u00f3!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1586,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"\n
