Produce and seafood import markets and origin countries: 2024 trade evidence by HS code

Where avocados, cherries, grapes, blueberries, mangoes and shrimp were bought and shipped in 2024, which countries act as hubs, which origins supply counter-season, which corridors the evidence supports — and what to check before you ask for offers.

Prepared by the Global B2B Group project team · Last reviewed · Jurisdiction: data are global (WITS / UN Comtrade, FAOSTAT); regulatory notes name their country.

Short answer

In 2024 UN Comtrade data, the United States was the largest importer of avocados, fresh grapes, fresh blueberries and mangoes, and China the largest importer of cherries and frozen shrimp. Mexico led avocado exports, Peru grapes and blueberries, Chile cherries, Thailand mangoes and Ecuador frozen shrimp. The Netherlands, Spain and Hong Kong, China appear on both sides — trading hubs rather than end markets.

These are records of past trade. They do not show current demand, available stock, a buyer or supplier ready to deal, or next season's volumes. Our team uses them to frame an RFQ, then confirms supply for your specific request. Buyers are free; requests start at USD 250,000 per year or season, and suppliers do not receive your contact details.

Four roles a country can play

Final-consumption import market
Fruit is bought mainly to be sold and eaten in that market. Import value is a fair first signal of demand — but it is last year's trade, not this season's orders.
Trading / re-export hub
Fruit arrives, is ripened, repacked or stored, and much of it leaves again. A hub appears on both the import and the export list; its imports are not consumption, and adding them to neighbouring markets counts the same fruit twice.
Seasonal or counter-seasonal origin
Fruit is grown and shipped from here. Southern-hemisphere origins (South Africa, Peru, Chile) mostly ship when Northern-hemisphere supply is out of season; only dated, sourced windows are shown.
Market-access constraint to plan for
A destination may admit a commodity only from approved origins, registered orchards or packhouses, or after a treatment. A trade figure never proves that a particular origin, exporter or shipment is eligible.

Evidence matrix: 2024 import and export value by HS code, US$ million

“in” = imports, “out” = exports, by the reporting country, from WITS / UN Comtrade. Trade value is a proxy for where fruit moved — not total addressable market, current prices or spot demand. “—” means the country did not report that line. The EU row is the bloc; do not add it to member-state rows.

Fresh vs frozen and seafood

Frozen and prepared goods are different trades from fresh: different origins, buyers and controls. Shrimp codes are the HS 1988/92 lines WITS uses (030613 frozen; 160520 prepared or preserved).

Opportunity map: trade corridors ranked by evidence

Each corridor pairs an origin's 2024 exports with a destination's 2024 imports for the same HS code, then adds dated season or market-access sources. High = both sides in the trade data plus a dated season or access source; Medium = trade data only, or a material gap; Low = emerging or very small base. Logistics fit is not scored — it needs a route-specific proposal. A corridor is a research hypothesis for an RFQ, not a buyer, supplier or deal.

  1. 1. Peru → United States and Europe: fresh blueberries

    Confidence: High

    Peru led fresh blueberry exports and the US led imports in 2024; Peru is also the second-largest producer in FAOSTAT.

    HS 081040, 2024 — origin exports: Peru US$2,211.9M. Destination imports: United States US$2,428.7M; Netherlands US$789.1M; United Kingdom US$520.1M.

    Open gap: Market-access conditions per destination not reviewed here; HS 081040 also includes cranberries and bilberries.

  2. 2. Mexico → United States: avocados

    Confidence: High

    The largest exporter and the largest importer in the 2024 tables.

    HS 080440, 2024 — origin exports: Mexico US$3,828.2M. Destination imports: United States US$3,876.5M.

    Open gap: No dated season window for Mexican avocados on this page.

    Confidence: High

    Chile led cherry exports and China led imports by a wide margin in 2024.

    HS 080920, 2024 — origin exports: Chile US$3,515.4M. Destination imports: China US$3,685.2M.

    Open gap: China's access conditions for Chilean cherries not reviewed here.

  4. 4. Peru → Netherlands hub and EU: avocados

    Confidence: High

    Peru was the second-largest avocado exporter; the Netherlands is a hub, so EU demand is better read from the EU bloc row.

    HS 080440, 2024 — origin exports: Peru US$1,247.0M. Destination imports: Netherlands US$1,298.5M; EU (bloc) US$2,616.4M.

    Open gap: Onward destinations of Dutch re-exports not shown.

  5. 5. South Africa → EU and UK: table grapes (counter-season)

    Confidence: High

    South Africa ranked among the larger fresh-grape exporters in 2024; the EU and UK took most of its table grapes in 2023/24.

    HS 080610, 2024 — origin exports: South Africa US$838.3M. Destination imports: EU (bloc) US$1,406.2M; United Kingdom US$763.7M.

    Open gap: HS 080610 includes all fresh grapes, not only table grapes.

  6. 6. South Africa → Netherlands and UK: avocados (early European window)

    Confidence: High

    A smaller exporter than Mexico or Peru, shipping mainly to Europe.

    HS 080440, 2024 — origin exports: South Africa US$204.6M. Destination imports: Netherlands US$1,298.5M; United Kingdom US$378.6M.

    Open gap: FAOSTAT production (123 kt, 2024) and NAMC export tonnage come from different sources.

  7. 7. Mexico and Peru → United States: mangoes

    Confidence: High

    The US was the largest importer of HS 080450 in 2024; Mexico and Peru were among the top exporters.

    HS 080450, 2024 — origin exports: Mexico US$635.5M; Peru US$313.3M. Destination imports: United States US$1,004.8M.

    Open gap: HS 080450 also includes guavas and mangosteens, and dried fruit.

  8. 8. South Africa → EU and UK: blueberries

    Confidence: Medium

    A mid-sized blueberry exporter in 2024 (US$154.4 million).

    HS 081040, 2024 — origin exports: South Africa US$154.4M. Destination imports: EU (bloc) US$1,167.9M; United Kingdom US$520.1M.

    Open gap: No FAOSTAT 2024 production row for South African blueberries; destination split undated.

  9. 9. Morocco and Spain → Europe: blueberries

    Confidence: Medium

    Both were among the top five exporters in 2024. Spain also imports, so part of its trade passes through.

    HS 081040, 2024 — origin exports: Morocco US$426.8M; Spain US$577.2M. Destination imports: EU (bloc) US$1,167.9M; United Kingdom US$520.1M.

    Open gap: No dated season source for either origin on this page.

  10. 10. Ecuador and India → China, United States and EU: frozen shrimp

    Confidence: Medium

    Ecuador and India led frozen shrimp exports; China and the US led imports. Prepared shrimp (HS 160520) is a separate, smaller trade.

    HS 030613, 2024 — origin exports: Ecuador US$6,342.4M; India US$4,312.8M. Destination imports: China US$4,961.4M; United States US$4,671.9M; EU (bloc) US$3,477.7M.

    Open gap: Destination access and species/processing rules not reviewed; seafood projects route to our specialist site where relevant.

  11. 11. Serbia and Poland → EU: frozen raspberries and blackberries

    Confidence: Medium

    A frozen-fruit trade with different origins from the fresh-berry trade — useful for processors and food-service buyers.

    HS 081120, 2024 — origin exports: Serbia US$313.2M; Poland US$206.4M. Destination imports: EU (bloc) US$465.8M; Germany US$270.6M.

    Open gap: No season or access source reviewed; frozen fruit has different controls from fresh.

  12. 12. South Africa → China: cherries (protocol signed; access pending confirmation)

    Confidence: Low

    China is the largest cherry importer, but South Africa's cherry exports were small in 2024 (US$7.9 million).

    HS 080920, 2024 — origin exports: South Africa US$7.9M. Destination imports: China US$3,685.2M.

    Open gap: No shipment history under the protocol yet; eligibility and volumes unverified.

Buyer requirements checklist (every market)

  • Product, cultivar or variety, and end use
  • Grade or class, size or count, and the reference standard
  • HS code if known — your customs broker confirms the classification
  • Preferred and acceptable origins, and whether alternates are allowed
  • Volume per shipment, per season and programme length (from USD 250,000 per year or season)
  • Destination port or warehouse and the first and last arrival you need
  • Pack, label language and pallet configuration
  • Cold-chain requirement as you or your customer specify it
  • Certificates and market-access conditions your destination requires
  • Preferred Incoterms® rule and named place

Documents to prepare

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country's plant protection organisation
  • Certificate of origin where a trade agreement or preference is claimed
  • Any protocol evidence: registered orchard or packhouse, treatment records
  • Food-safety, residue and traceability records your buyers require
  • Pre-notification or entry documents in the destination's system (for example CHED in EU TRACES), lodged by the party responsible

Exact requirements depend on the HS code, product form, origin and destination, and they change. Confirm with the destination authority and your customs broker.

Shipping considerations

  • Reefer or air: decide per product and period with the exporter and forwarder; we do not publish transit times or temperatures
  • Choose the arrival port for your distribution, not only the cheapest freight
  • Build buffer time for inspections at origin and at the border
  • Agree logger use per container or pallet and who reads it on arrival
  • Match insurance to the Incoterms® rule and the point where risk passes
