Current Status of Peruvian Chocolate Exports<\/h2>\n

Peruvian chocolate exports have shown significant growth during 2025. Between January and October, shipments\u2014including specialty cup chocolates\u2014exceeded USD 62 million, according to the Agro-Export Management of the Exporters Association (ADEX). This figure represents a notable 12% increase over the same period in 2024, when exports amounted to USD 55.5 million.<\/p>\n

Organic Chocolate Surge<\/h3>\n

Noteworthy in this uptick is the rise of organic chocolates, which accounted for approximately USD 33.8 million in shipments\u2014growing by 31% compared to 2024. In stark contrast, conventional chocolate deliveries tallied USD 28.3 million, reflecting a 5% decline. This shift indicates increasing consumer preference for health-focused and sustainable products.<\/p>\n

Dominant Markets for Peruvian Chocolate<\/h2>\n

The U.S. has solidified its position as the top destination for Peruvian chocolate, making up 45% of total exports at USD 28.2 million, a 28% increase from the previous year. Following the U.S. are Canada, Chile, Ecuador, and Bolivia, respectively, with Canada importing USD 11.1 million, Chile USD 5.1 million, and Ecuador USD 3.5 million.<\/p>\n

Emerging Trends and Price Dynamics<\/h3>\n

ADEX also noted that while the Free On Board (FOB) value of chocolate shipments saw a 12% increase, the volume exported fell by 26%. This discrepancy is attributed to heightened cocoa prices amidst lower production levels in major producing countries.<\/p>\n

Innovative Product Growth<\/h2>\n

Specialty chocolates, such as chocolates designed for cups, have experienced remarkable growth. Between January and October 2025, these shipments reached USD 374,000, leaping 166% from the previous year’s USD 140,000. The primary markets for this product were the U.S. and the UK, showcasing the versatility of Peruvian chocolate products.<\/p>\n

Acknowledgment and Recognition<\/h2>\n

In a significant achievement, Peru was honored as the “Overall Winner” at the International Chocolate Awards (ICA) in 2025. The award-winning product, “El Ganso,” produced by Cacaosuyo, attained gold status thanks to its remarkable cocoa sourced from the Jun\u00edn region\u2014renowned for its exceptional quality.<\/p>\n

A Commitment to Quality<\/h3>\n

According to Samir Giha, the founder of Theobroma Inversiones and creator of Cacaosuyo, these accolades not only highlight the quality of Peruvian chocolate but also serve as a tribute to the farmers dedicated to cultivating fine cocoa. This ongoing mission underlines the heritage and richness of Peruvian chocolate, aiming for global recognition as a top-tier chocolate producer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
