Importer demand map: 15 markets matched to recorded flows from Peru, Ecuador, India, Kenya and Colombia

Flow values are each origin's own 2024 exports to the market as reported to UN Comtrade, in US$ thousand, for the product lanes we source: avocados (HS 080440), blueberries and other Vaccinium (081040), grapes (080610), mangoes with guavas and mangosteens (080450), bananas (080390), fresh beans (070820), frozen shrimp (030617) and prepared shrimp (160521). HS 080390, 080440 and 080450 include dried fruit.

Exporters and importers report trade differently, so these figures can differ from the importing country's own statistics. Netherlands and Belgium are EU entry points: goods declared there can be redistributed across Europe — that onward flow is a hypothesis this map does not measure.

• Recorded flow — a 2024 Comtrade row of at least US$1 million from the origin to the market for that product.
• Origin ranking — a destination ranking published by the origin's national body (MIDAGRI, MPEDA/PIB, AEBE, CNA, Corpohass).
• Hypothesis — anything inferred, such as onward redistribution or likely buyer types; always labelled.
• Colombia is shown at product–destination level only; named Colombian exporters for each flow are not yet validated.

Tier A: over US$1 billion recorded in 2024 across our lanes; Tier B: US$300 million to US$1 billion; Tier C: under US$300 million. Values in US$ thousand.

World totals and the four top recorded destinations among the 15 markets (UN Comtrade, exporter-reported, US$ thousand). Destinations outside the 15 — for example Russia for Ecuadorian bananas — are not listed here.

National bodies publish destination rankings on different bases — all agricultural exports, all seafood, boxes or tonnes — so they are shown as published, not combined with the table above.

• Peru, all agricultural exports, 2024 (MIDAGRI, March 2025): United States US$4,440.7 million (34.7%), Netherlands 1,898.5 million (14.8%), Spain 814.3 million (6.4%), England 477.0 million (3.7%), Chile 451.2 million (3.5%), Mexico 445.1 million (3.5%), Ecuador 395.3 million (3.1%), Germany 329.2 million (2.6%), China 309.5 million (2.4%), Canada 308.9 million (2.4%), of a total of US$12,797.5 million.
• India, all seafood, FY 2025-26 (Press Information Bureau, 1 June 2026): United States US$2,328.74 million, China 1,611.32 million, European Union 1,592.09 million, South-East Asia 1,348.97 million, Japan 452.91 million, Middle East 283.00 million; total US$8,455.76 million.
• Ecuador, banana boxes, 2025 (AEBE annual statistics): EU 30.51%, Russia 20.26%, Middle East 14.85%, United States 11.36%, Southern Cone 8.00% of 378.41 million boxes.
• Colombia, Hass avocados, 2025 (Corpohass, source DIAN): Europe 134,531 t, United States 58,601 t, Canada 2,475 t, Asia 1,968 t — grouped by region, not by country.
• Kenya: the Agriculture and Food Authority's 2025 Year Book of Statistics, which holds the national horticulture destination ranking, could not be opened for this review — the ranking needs verification, and this map uses Kenya's own Comtrade reports for avocados and beans instead.

The points below are editorial guidance built on the recorded flows — hypotheses to test in a request, not facts about any buyer.

• Tier A markets (United States, China, Netherlands) already receive several origins for the same product — for example Peruvian and Colombian avocados into the Netherlands — so a consolidated request across origins can compare like-for-like offers and cover more weeks.
• Tier B European markets receive both direct flows and goods declared at Dutch or Belgian entry points; ask each supplier where the goods will be cleared and which documents travel with them.
• Gulf markets (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) show Indian and Ecuadorian flows across bananas, mangoes, grapes and shrimp; Kenyan avocados also reach the UAE.
• Tier C markets have narrower, product-specific links — Peruvian grapes into Mexico, Ecuadorian bananas and Peruvian avocados into Chile — so start from the recorded product rather than the origin.

• Destination market and port, and who clears the goods
• Products, varieties or species, grade and size or count
• Origins you accept — one or several — and whether alternatives without a recorded flow may be quoted
• Weekly volume, season total and arrival weeks
• Documents your market requires, from the entry-rules guide for your market
• Incoterms® rule and named place, currency and the declared total annual or seasonal programme value

Our team turns these points into one reviewed request and approaches suitable suppliers on your behalf. Buyers pay nothing; sourcing programmes start from USD 250,000 per year or season, and every requirement is confirmed per shipment rather than assumed.
