Peru shifts from flat growth to a 4.4% decline in Proarándanos’ latest forecast

The association lowered its 2026/27 season forecast to 366,000 tons, 16,000 tons less than in September. Although shipments are still up 18.7% through week 38, volumes are expected to fall 31.2% year-on-year over the next eight weeks, as Proarándanos warns that the impact of El Niño has been more severe than anticipated.
