In 2024, Peru dispatched its conventional and organic coffees to 91 international markets, reports the National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa).
According to Gestion, 193,212 tonnes of Senasa-certified green coffee permeated over 60 world markets.
Four traditional powerhouse destinations, namely the U.S., Germany, Belgium and Canada amassed 63.1% of all dispatches.
Leading the production kill were four Andean provinces, whose volumes helped generated the sales momentum during a global supply gap.
Cajamarca in the north shipped 32,796 tonnes or a 48.2% national share while the lakeside city of Junín provided 15,148 tonnes (22.2%).
Amazonas came third with 10,477 tonnes or a 15.4% portion while San Martín, also in northern Peru, provided 5,567 tonnes (8.1%).
The four areas were instrumental for supplying 93% of the nationwide certified organic and conventional beans.
Much of the gains owed to high Arabica rates globally, which accelerated to $3.36 a pound in November 2024. Together with ample volumes, the handsome prices helped Peru earn $1.1 billion in raw coffee exports that year.
2025’s Developments
While 2024 was a great year for Peru’s export coffee prices due to global shortages, 2025 is fine-tuning quantity and sustainability.
Volumes are gathering pace in the May-December 2025 national export window – and by August had hit 68,016 tonnes.
Regarding sustainability, the government on August 21 announced 28 million sol ($7.95 million) of non-refundable funds in farmer support.
Production leaders Cajamarca, San Martín, Amazonas, Junín and the capital Lima will earn the lion’s share of the fund.
With this allocation, the government expects to up the national coffee acreage above 2024’s 427,000 hectares and boost export revenue. And as the statistics below show, Peru’s various coffees have an affinity for quality-dependent returns.
