What AGAP Perú does

AGAP (Asociación de Gremios Productores Agrarios del Perú) is a private non-profit trade association founded in 2002 and headquartered in the San Isidro district of Lima, Peru. It serves as the principal umbrella organization for Peru's modern agricultural export sector, grouping together producer guilds (Proarándanos for blueberries, ProCitrus for citrus, Prohass for Hass avocado, PROVID for table grapes) and major agro-exporting companies including Camposol, Hortifrut Perú, Virú S.A., Danper, Complejo Agroindustrial Beta, Agrícola Cerro Prieto, Grupo Rocío, Mission, Don Ricardo, and Dominus. AGAP's core function is collective representation of these members in policy advocacy, regulatory engagement, international market access, and sustainability initiatives.

AGAP's service portfolio is organized around several interconnected offerings rather than discrete technology products. Its core deliverable is sector advocacy and unified representation, complemented by Estudios de Inteligencia de Mercado (market intelligence studies), a Bolsa de Trabajo (job board) connecting agricultural professionals with member companies, and Ferias Internacionales (coordination of member participation in major global trade fairs such as Fruit Attraction, Asia Fruit Logistica, Berlin Fruit Logistica, and PMA Fresh Summit). The association organizes AGROFEST, an annual flagship conference now in its fifth edition (2026), and runs a Sostenibilidad program covering humanitarian, educational, labor, environmental, infrastructure, and health initiatives. In 2026, AGAP launched a subscription-based El Niño climate monitoring service in partnership with AMBIAND and introduced the Reconocimiento Sostenibilidad AGAP awards program.

AGAP's business model is member-funded: companies and agricultural guilds pay recurring membership dues to access services, representation, and programs. The organization operates with a lean staff of 13 employees under the leadership of President Gabriel Amaro (also referenced as Executive Director) and Head of Sustainability Edwin Córdova. AGAP does not disclose revenue, pricing, or detailed financial information publicly. Over its 22 years of institutional life, the Peruvian agricultural export sector it represents has grown from under USD 850 million to over USD 14,000 million in annual exports, reaching more than 140 countries, with Peru ranked as the world's #1 exporter of blueberries and #2 in Hass avocado and table grapes.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ASOEX (Asociación de Exportadores de Frutas de Chile): Chile's primary fruit exporters' association, representing the country's fresh fruit export industry and serving the same function as AGAP in Peru. ASOEX is the closest geographic and functional peer, given both countries' roles as major Southern Hemisphere fresh fruit exporters.
• APEAM (Asociación de Productores y Empacadores Exportadores de Aguacate de México): Mexican Hass avocado producers and exporters association, representing the world's largest avocado exporter and managing the Mexico-US avocado supply chain. Comparable to AGAP in providing crop-specific export advocacy and market-access support for member companies.
• Abrafrutas (Associação Brasileira dos Produtores Exportadores de Frutas e Derivados): Brazilian association representing fruit producers and exporters, focused on expanding Brazilian fresh fruit exports internationally. Directly comparable to AGAP in mandate and constituency (Latin American fruit export trade association).

Regional players

• Freshfel Europe: European fresh produce association representing the European fresh fruit and vegetable sector. A regional counterpart to AGAP, focused on European regulatory and market access rather than Peruvian exports, but comparable in representing a regional fresh-produce value chain.
• Fruit South Africa (Fruit SA): Umbrella body for South Africa's fresh fruit industry, coordinating industry strategy and export promotion for deciduous fruit and table grapes. Comparable to AGAP as a Southern Hemisphere fresh produce trade association, though geographically focused on South African exports.

Others

• SHAFFE (Southern Hemisphere Association of Fresh Fruit Exporters): Industry body that aggregates fresh fruit exporter associations from Southern Hemisphere countries. SHAFFE is a meta-association in which AGAP-like national bodies coordinate; it represents a higher-level peer and a potential platform for AGAP's international influence.

Broad incumbents

• International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA): Global trade association for the fresh produce and floral industries, formed from the merger of PMA and United Fresh. Broader incumbent serving the same end-customer base (fresh produce growers, packers, exporters, retailers) as AGAP, but operating at a much larger, multi-commodity global scale.
