Peruvian Coffee Exports Drop 30% Amid Record High Prices in 2025: Coffee and Cocoa Chamber
Coffee Network (Bogotá)- Peru shipped 1.566 million bags in January-August, dropping 30% on the year when it shipped 2.252 million bags, the coffee and cocoa chamber said.
The value of the harvest reached $686.9 million in line with the record in 2022 thanks to an average price of $336 per quintal, the highest in recent history, the chamber noted.
“Although the volumes are lower, high coffee prices are compensating the drop in export volumes,” the chamber noted.
The Peruvian harvest began in March and ends in September.
In August, Peru shipped 395,669 bags, down 27% on the year and lower than the 411,913 bags in July, according to information from the import-export data company Veritrade.
In terms of FOB value, exports reached USD154 million in August, thanks to an average price of USD 390.9/quintal, the highest of the year and 108% above the international price on the New York Stock Exchange (USD 286.7/lb).
This differential reflects the preference for certified, sustainable, and specialty coffees that characterize the Peruvian supply in the current campaign.
Main Export Destinations
The United States continued to lead the way as the main market for Peruvian coffee, with 447,845 bags (29% of the total), generating more than USD 195 million in FOB revenue. Germany ranked second with 302,077 bags (19%), while Belgium absorbed 171,063 bags (11%), consolidating its position as a key destination in Europe. Canada and Colombia ranked fourth and fifth, with 154,008 and 117,184 bags, respectively. Together, these five countries accounted for 76% of total exports. The European Union as a whole accounted for nearly 40% of Peruvian shipments, although with a sharp decline compared to 2024, when they reached values close to 50%.
Roasted Coffee Exports
The roasted coffee segment consolidated its expansion in 2025. Between January and August, 135 tons were exported, with an FOB value of USD 1.52 million, representing a 67% growth compared to the same period in 2024. The average price rose to USD 11,205/ton, almost double the USD 6,434/ton of the previous year, reflecting the increased appreciation of differentiated coffees.
Instant Coffee Imports: A Dynamic Market
In the January-August period, 2,801 tons were imported, with a CIF value of USD 50.41 million, representing a 9% growth in volume and 50% in value compared to the same period in 2024. The average price rose to USD 17,998/ton, compared to USD 13,071/ton in 2024, confirming a sustained upward trend.
Brazil was the main supplier with 960 tons and a CIF value of USD 16.5 million, followed by Colombia (234 tons, USD 4.07 million) and Mexico (176 tons, USD 2.74 million). The domestic market thus reflects a growing dependence on regional suppliers, while local demand maintains its upward trend. Roasted Coffee Imports
Roasted coffee imports continued to grow, reaching 498 tons between January and August 2025, with a CIF value of USD 5.25 million, 35% more than the same period in 2024. Ground coffee showed particularly accelerated growth, rising from 124 tons in 2021 to 329 tons in 2025, indicating a change in consumption habits and a preference for ready-to-use presentations.
Coffee prices
In August 2025, the international coffee market was characterized by high volatility and marked upward pressure on prices, the Chamber said. Arabica coffee on the New York Stock Exchange surpassed $3.50 per pound, its highest level in two months, driven by frost in Brazil, persistent weather uncertainty, and the United States' imposition of 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports. These factors, combined with speculation in futures markets and reduced inventories, reinforced the perception of shortages. Meanwhile, robusta prices in London showed mixed movements, affected by expectations of a bumper harvest in Vietnam, projected at 31 million bags for 2025/26, and by the accumulation of inventories in ICE-certified warehouses. Adding to this scenario are other structural factors: demand in the United States and Europe remains strong amid the prospect of colder winters, while Asia, especially China, has expanded its consumption and consolidated its market share. At the same time, the costs of fertilizers, agrochemicals, and maritime transport remain high, which is reflected in the final price of the beans. Furthermore, the reduction in roasters' and importers' inventories has forced a restructuring of purchases, accentuating volatility in international stock markets. In this challenging context, Peruvian coffee closed the January–August 2025 period with 869,373 bags exported, a 45.6% drop compared to the same period in 2024, although with an FOB value of USD 349.3 million, supported by an average price of USD 308/quintal, the highest in the last five years.
