The fresh fruit import and export market is a dynamic and highly competitive sector influenced by various factors, including climatic conditions, international trade policies, consumer preferences and technological advances in storage and transportation.

As part of Salix Fruit’s continued growth trajectory, the company’s executives traveled to Peru, a region with great potential due to its ability to supply a variety of fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, citrus fruits and avocados.

“This country not only offers good logistics services without major complications, but can also efficiently serve markets in Latin America, Europe and Russia,” said CEO Alejandro Moralejo.

Among the main logistical and market challenges facing fruit exports this year are the availability and quality of citrus fruits, which have been severely affected by frost and climatic events in the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, tensions in the Red Sea have significantly affected shipping traffic, causing either oversupply or shortages in various markets due to the extremely long transport distances.

As a result, despite smaller calibers and higher prices due to high demand in the US and Latin America, there are opportunities for Peruvian mandarins in Europe and Russia due to climatic problems in Argentina and South Africa.

“Mandarin consumption in Europe increases from the first week of September, which coincides with the start of school and the arrival of cooler days. To capitalize on this demand, it is crucial to start deliveries from August,” said Moralejo.
