Three companies gain ground in Peru's frozen avocado market

September 14, 2026

Peruvian exports of frozen avocados show two clear leaders in volume during 2026. According to data from Customs/SUNAT, at the close of week 34 Sunshine Export registered 4,181 tons exported, followed by Agroindustrias AIB, with 3,581 tons.

Further down the list, Chavín de Huántar, Agroempaques, and Camposol form a second group of companies with significant volumes and substantial variations compared to the same period last year. Through week 34, Chavín reached 2,492 tons, a 45% increase; Agroempaques totaled 2,149 tons, a 39% increase; and Camposol registered 1,751 tons, a 107% year-on-year increase, according to Customs/SUNAT data.

The progress of these companies comes after 2025, a year in which all three had already registered increases in their frozen avocado exports. That year, Chavín exported 3,200 tons, a 107% increase; Agroempaques reached 2,000 tons, an 85% increase; while Camposol reached 1,400 tons, a 48% increase.

Chavín strengthens its processing capacity

In Chavín, growth is occurring within an operation where frozen products play a significant role. The company uses IQF technology for various fruits and vegetables, including avocados, and offers formats such as halves, chunks, and slices. Its model also incorporates certified crops, monitoring, and traceability.

The company has also strengthened its processing infrastructure. In an interview with the newspaper Gestión, Mario Salazar, president of Chavín, noted that in 2023 the company invested US$8.5 million in expanding its frozen food plant in Casma, adding a second production line.

Since then, it has invested between US$800,000 and US$1 million annually to optimize its infrastructure and processes. Currently, the company exports more than 16,000 tons of frozen products per year, with 95% of its portfolio focused on mango, strawberry, and avocado.

Agroempaques scales in its first years as an exporter

Agroempaques stands out for the speed of its entry into the segment. In 2025, just its second year as an exporter of frozen avocados, the company reported reaching 2,000 tons, with an 85% growth.

Behind this participation lies a specialized processing infrastructure. From Callao, Agroempaques works with IQF and HPP technologies and has an IQF tunnel capable of freezing one ton of raw material per hour, an HPP system with a capacity of 1.1 tons per hour, and eight ripening chambers with the capacity to process up to 360 tons per day. Its products reach North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Camposol accelerates from a global platform

Camposol registers the highest year-on-year growth among the three companies named, with an advance of 107% up to week 34. Its avocado offer currently includes the Frozen IQF format, integrated into an export structure with international reach.

In 2025, the company received the Export Excellence Award from ADEX in the Market Diversification category. That same year, it announced US$400 million in financing earmarked for various strategic priorities, including improving avocado productivity and adopting and scaling up agricultural innovations.

Camposol's avocado business was already showing prior expansion: during the first nine months of 2025, its volumes, considering the product in general and not exclusively the frozen one, increased 14% compared to the same period of the previous year.

The three cases illustrate distinct profiles within the second-largest exporter of Peruvian frozen avocados. While Chavín has strengthened its processing capacity, Agroempaques participates in the segment with a specialized IQF and HPP infrastructure, and Camposol incorporates freezing into a larger-scale export platform. Data accumulated through week 34 shows that all three companies have increased their volumes compared to the same period in 2025, although Sunshine and AIB continue to lead exports by volume.
