Merchandise shipments out of Peru brought in US$63.521 billion across the first seven months of 2026, a figure that represented a 33% climb over the same stretch a year earlier and extended an unbroken run of monthly export growth to 27 consecutive periods, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) reported.

Among export categories, copper and gold posted the strongest returns — copper bringing in US$21.607 billion, a 43.3% rise, and gold generating US$16.394 billion, up 56.9% — while farm products shipped from Peru to the United States added up to US$1.109 billion through the opening three months of 2026, reflecting an 8% increase over the same period a year earlier.

Peru's central bank put total export revenue for 2026 at US$118.171 billion, with a 25.6% uplift in export prices accounting for much of that gain — an outlook that rested on commodity valuations holding broadly around where they stood at the time of the forecast.

Over the first seven months of the year, Peru sent goods worth more than US$63.5 billion to buyers around the world — a rate that, should it hold through the end of December, would place 2026 above every previous annual export total the country has on record.

Goods exports climbed 33% against the same seven-month window a year earlier — a pace driven largely by commodity prices holding at levels not commonly seen in recent history.

Commodity price movements on world markets — copper and gold chief among them — drove the outcome recorded in the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú's (BCR) July 2026 monthly trade data, pushing the average value fetched per unit of exported goods to a level 23.2% above where it had stood twelve months earlier. Outbound tonnage grew as well, with an 8.3% year-on-year uptick driven by heavier consignments of gold, molybdenum, and both copper and lead concentrates leaving Peruvian ports.

Higher energy costs — with oil and natural gas prices both climbing amid hostilities involving Iran — were identified by the BCR as a contributing factor pushing total export valuations upward.

Figures released by Mincetur show that mineral exports on their own brought in US$46.284 billion over the January-to-July stretch, a level 49.2% above what the same seven-month window produced the year before. Outpacing every other export category, copper brought in US$21.607 billion — a 43.3% lift over the prior period — while gold posted US$16.394 billion, up 56.9%.

Revenue from the lead-and-silver concentrate division reached US$3.504 billion over the period, a figure that stood roughly twice as high as the equivalent interval twelve months prior, reflecting a year-on-year uplift of 105.7%.

Data from the Asociación de Exportadores (ADEX) show that Peruvian farm and food shipments bound for the United States reached US$1.109 billion across the opening three months of 2026, a figure 8% higher than the same period a year earlier. Around one in every three tonnes of Peru's farm exports finds its way to American ports, a share that positions the United States as the top overseas buyer of that produce.

Between January and July 2026, Peru's farm export earnings reached a combined US$6.327 billion, a 2.7% rise over the prior-year period, with avocados alone accounting for US$1.187 billion — up 7.3% — while grape shipments of US$806 million reflected an 18.2% gain and blueberry volumes generated US$649 million, a 60.8% increase.

According to ADEX figures, table grapes led all fresh produce categories in exports bound for the United States during the first quarter of 2026, with total shipment value reaching US$427 million. Mango exports reached US$94 million, while blueberries accounted for a larger share at US$218 million.

According to the BCR's June 2026 Inflation Report, full-year export prices were forecast to climb 25.6%, with the institution pointing to elevated oil and gas costs linked to the conflict involving Iran as a factor pushing aggregate export values upward.

Drawn from the BCR's own quarterly figures, Peru's total export pace through the second quarter of 2026 translated to an annualised value of US$109.413 billion. Figures released in the monetary authority's June Inflation Report put the annual total at US$118.171 billion.

Data compiled by ADEX and the agricultural exporters' body AGAP put Peru's farm-product shipments to the United States at just under US$5 billion for 2025, reflecting a year-on-year gain of 13%. Roughly two-thirds of Peru's farm export output finds its destination in markets across the United States and the European Union combined.

Between January and July 2026, the pool of Peruvian businesses actively sending goods abroad reached 8,305 — up 3% against the comparable stretch of 2025 — with nearly two-thirds of those operations falling into the micro, small, or medium-sized category, a tier that tends to absorb the sharpest effects of shifting global prices and depends heavily on the continuity of Peru's bilateral trade arrangements with the United States.
