Peru\u2019s agribusiness sector provided 44% of all jobs related to exports<\/u><\/a> in the highly agricultural country in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this statistical report, Agraria Peru<\/u><\/a> cites the Research Center for Economics and Global Business of the Association of Exporters (CIEN-ADEX). CIEN-ADEX\u2019s data shows that annual export-related jobs reached 4,427,921 in 2024, up 15%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional sectors such as agriculture and mining provided 1,750,131 jobs or 39.5% of all export-affiliated jobs, up 19.9% annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export employment creation by non-conventional sectors such as agribusiness grew 12% year-on-year to 2,677,790 jobs or 60.5% share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lion\u2019s Share<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is agribusiness however that tilted the balance among non-traditional agricultural export jobs at 1,947,734 or 44% the total.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of these new opportunities, 621,791 or 1\/3rd<\/sup> were direct jobs while the rest were either indirect or induced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This made the sector beat all others in the provision of opportunities around exports. Its only rivals were such non-agricultural industries as textile and metallurgical steel workings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agrindustry\u2019s lead owed to high demand for labor input in shipping avocados, blueberries<\/u><\/a>, mangoes and asparagus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plantation Crops Buoy Traditional Export Sectors<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although agriculture and other traditional sectors such as mining lagged in job creation, they however did better than in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture generated 519,125 opportunities, 11.7% of which export-oriented. The percentage accrued to labor need for processing sugar, coffee and cocoa, among other plantation crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fishing, too, had a field day with the most yearly growth at 97.7% that generated 78,985 jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, Peru\u2019s agribusiness is to thank for the agricultural export value<\/u><\/a> chain of 2024 that generated the country US$11.198 billion. And as the statistics below indicate, this is no small result for the world\u2019s leader in many agricultural exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru<\/strong> Agribusiness Statistics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peru\u2019s agribusiness chains have helped insure robust agri-food export value growth in two decades. Agri-food shipments soared from just US$645 million<\/u><\/a> in 2000 to a massive US$10.5 billion in 2023. By 2024, agribusiness was calling the shots in agricultural returns by generating the bulk of the $11.198 billion value of agri-food exports.  Traditional agriculture meanwhile generated US$1.227 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has agribusiness improved agricultural job creation in Peru<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Bank, Peru in 2023 had 24%<\/u><\/a> of its employed population in agricultural jobs, most non-traditional. Between 2000 and 2023, agribusiness had indirectly helped expand acreage of high-value crops by 200,000 ha. This expansion in turn generated 1 million direct and indirect agricultural jobs<\/u><\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which foods or products generate most agricultural revenue<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agribusiness has partially helped expand the number of exported agricultural merchandise in Peru from 420 in 2002 to over 640<\/u><\/a> in by 2019.  High-value exports include asparagus, blueberries (US$1.72 billion), grapes (US$1.34 billion<\/u><\/a>, 2022), cocoa (US$1.89 billio<\/u><\/a>n, 2024), fish (US$1.4 billion<\/u><\/a>, 2024) and plantation crops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
