For this edition, Peru will participate in a series of spaces, such as the Chef’s Factory, where avocado and chili-based recipes will be shown. The presentation will be run by Peruvian chef Miguel Ángel Valdiviezo and chili expert Anilú Cigueñas; as well as a buyer's program, which will encourage European companies to get to know the Peruvian offer.

The South American country will participate in the virtual platform Fruit Attraction LIVE Connect, one of the major novelties of this edition, which will run for one year to boost visibility, brand recognition and the opportunity to network, as well as provide access to specialized content, etc.

The Peruvian avocado at Fruit Attraction

The growing of avocado in Peru takes place on the country’s coast, with La Libertad being the main producing region; however, international supply has been incorporated, in an organized and sustainable manner, with high-quality avocado, in regions in the center and south of the country: Apurímac, Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica and Junín.

Avocado was the main product of non-traditional Peruvian agro-export supplies in the first half of 2021. In 2020, The Netherlands was the main destination for Peruvian shipments of this superfood in the world, followed by the USA and Spain.

In addition to avocado, other products prioritized in this edition of the trade show will be mango, asparagus, grapes, cranberries, organic bananas, pomegranate, onion and ginger.
