Pineapple is one of the crops that seeks to position itself in export markets, although its volumes are irregular. According to the Agrodata Peru website, in 2017, Peru shipped a total of 70,366 kilos of this fruit for an FOB value of US $ 276,598. These figures marked a significant decline compared to the 102,877 kilos that had been sent abroad in 2016 for US $138,121.
However, exports seem to be recovering this year. According to records, between January and April this year, Peru exported 30.303 kilos of pineapple for $106.883.
A large majority of these shipments, i.e. 92% of them, were sent to Germany. The remaining 8% was sent to Chile.
