The Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) reaffirmed its commitment to the comprehensive strengthening of this important production chain, a driver of economic and social development in various regions of the country. Coffee is Peru's leading traditional agricultural export product and ranks fourth among national agricultural exports, behind only blueberries, grapes, and avocados. In 2024, coffee exports will exceed US$1.1 billion, consolidating its presence in 52 international markets thanks to its quality, flavor, and traceability.
This chain involves more than 220,000 producing families and generates direct and indirect employment for more than two million Peruvians, primarily in rural areas. Currently, coffee is grown on 427,000 hectares spread across 15 regions, with Junín, San Martín, Cajamarca, Cusco, Amazonas, Huánuco, and Pasco having the largest production and surface area.
Peru is also recognized as the world's leading producer of organic coffee, with more than 85,000 hectares of certified land, and is among the world's leading exporters of specialty coffees. This privileged position has been achieved thanks to the collaborative work of producers, cooperatives, organizations, and the government.
MIDAGRI, through its various agencies and programs such as AGROIDEAS, AGROMERCADO, INIA, SENASA, AGRORURAL, and the AGROPERÚ Fund, implements various actions aimed at improving productivity, grain quality, plant health, access to financing, and commercial coordination, prioritizing the coffee chain in its lines of intervention.
In an international context marked by the reduction in global supply due to climate change affecting countries like Brazil and Vietnam, Peruvian coffee has managed to maintain favorable prices for domestic producers, reaching prices of up to S/15 per kilogram at the farm gate.
Likewise, domestic consumption continues to expand, with a goal of reaching 1.4 kilos per capita by 2025, reflecting the growing recognition and preference for Peruvian coffee in the domestic market.
Peru remains the world's ninth-largest producer and exporter of conventional coffee and continues to make steady progress toward strengthening its differentiated offering, targeting high-value niches such as sustainable, fair trade, cup-quality, and gourmet coffees.
The MIDAGRI reiterates its commitment to the country's coffee growers, reaffirming that the coffee value chain is strategic for the development of Peruvian agriculture. Support and mentoring efforts continue, with the goal of further improving the competitiveness and positioning of Peruvian coffee worldwide.
