Peru’s citrus exports to reach US$32 million

Peru's citrus fruit exports may reach US$ 32 million this year, a 20 % decrease compared to 2008's US$ 40 million, the Association of Peru's Citrus Fruit Producers (Procitrus) reported.

Sergio del Castillo, General Manager, remembered that last year they exported 64,000 metric tons, and he said they expect over 51,000 tons for 2009.

Del Castillo added that the main destination market for these products was the United Kingdom (Satsuma tangerine), followed by Holland (Satsuma tangerine and tangelos), the United States (tangelos) and Canada (Satsuma tangerine and tangelos).

These countries represented 85% of total citrus fruit shipments.

Sergio Del Castillo said private and public sector, through Peru's National Service of Agrarian Health (Senasa), will seek to overcome phytosanitary barriers to enter new overseas markets such as Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Chile.
 
Chile has removed phytosanitary barriers for Peruvian lemons, but keeps restrictions on tangerines and oranges.

LOL! Nice picture. I have been in Lima for six months and I still haven't found ANY oranges that have orange colored peel. Are those oranges for export only?

I hope that Peru can get the approvals to start exporting limones to the US.  There is nothing with the same flavor in the US currently and they have a great taste for cooking both Peruvian and international dishes.

I would be interested to read why the export of these fruits have decreased by 20% in value. Is it the global crisis, is it loss of market share due to tougher competition or is it a descrease in prices?

I think they are talking about a 20% decrease in volume not price
