Peru Coffee Report: Production Rebounds as US Remains Key Buyer
Briefly

Peru's coffee production for the 2025/26 market is projected to reach 4.2 million 60-kilogram bags, reflecting an 8% recovery compared to the previous year, boosted by rising international prices and better fertilizer application. Despite this growth, the sector is challenged by persistent issues like coffee leaf rust and borer infestations. The United States, as the primary buyer, accounts for 27% of Peru's coffee exports, which are also set to match production expectations. Furthermore, Peru maintains its position as the leading exporter of organic coffee with significant land under certification.
