Market Insights & Analysis: Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market (2026-32):

The Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market size is valued at around USD 0.99 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 2.67 billion by 2032. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 17.83% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-32.

Agriculture is a cornerstone of Peru’s economy, contributing approximately 7.3% of the GDP and utilizing over 11.6 million hectares of land for cultivation. The expanding agricultural land, supported by a USD24 billion investment plan for irrigation infrastructure, aims to add roughly one million hectares of farmland, bolstering fertilizer demand significantly.

Moreover, Peru's agricultural exports reached about USD 12.5 billion in 2024, with government initiatives supporting mega irrigation projects like the USD7 billion Trasvase Marañón project, which is expected to irrigate over 300,000 hectares. These investments enhance crop productivity and specialty fertilizer adoption, ensuring sustainable agriculture growth. Furthermore, the expanding cultivation of high-value crops such as corn, fruits, and vegetables drives the need for precision nutrient management, increasing specialty fertilizer usage. This growth is complemented by government subsidies and programs encouraging sustainable and balanced fertilizer usage, aiding farmers in optimizing soil health and crop yields.

Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market Driver:

Growing Agricultural Infrastructure Driving Fertilizer Demand – A pivotal driver of Peru’s specialty fertilizers market growth is the government’s expanding range of agricultural support programs beyond irrigation infrastructure. Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) has allocated over USD 74.8 million in public funds during 2024-25 to flagship projects aimed at scaling organic production, improving post-harvest storage, and promoting climate-smart irrigation systems. These initiatives directly support sustainable fertilizer use by enhancing soil health and reducing losses.

Additionally, MIDAGRI’s Agroperú Fund has granted more than S/312 million (approx. USD 90 million) in preferential credit to nearly 19,000 producers in 2025, primarily financing productive campaigns and fertilizer procurement, especially benefiting smallholders in regions like Puno, Cajamarca, and Junín. Furthermore, Peru is advancing national sustainability certifications and collaborating with international partners like the FAO and IDB to promote climate-resilient farming techniques and biological fertilizers. These diversified policies foster increased adoption of specialty fertilizers tailored to Peru’s agroecological zones, driving both productivity and environmental stewardship.


Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market Growth Overview

Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market Opportunity:

Expanding High-Value Crop Cultivation – Peru's specialty fertilizers market benefits from substantial growth in high-value crop cultivation, notably cereals like corn and fruits such as avocados and blueberries. In 2024, Peru's agricultural sector grew by 4.9%, with crop production rising 10.8%, driven by strong performances in blueberries (+53.4%) and avocados (export value of approximately USD 1.25 billion from 570,457 tons). Corn remains vital, with production forecast at 1.68 million metric tons in 2024/25, maintaining steady demand largely from the animal feed sector. Blueberry exports surged to 545.9 million for 72,000 tons during this period, representing a 41.5% rise from USD 385.7 million in the same months of 2023, further emphasizing Peru’s role as a leading global supplier.

These trends highlight rising demand for specialty fertilizers tailored to crop-specific nutrient requirements, supported by government promotion of sustainable practices and precision agriculture, enabling farmers to improve yields and meet growing export-driven consumption.

Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market Challenge:

Fertilizer Price Volatility & Supply Chain Disruptions – A significant market challenge is the high volatility in fertilizer prices and supply chain disruptions impacting Peru’s farmers. For instance, urea prices surged almost 300% recently, elevating production costs and reducing fertilizer affordability among small and medium-scale farmers. The 2019 National Agricultural Survey highlighted that almost 47% of farmers use chemical fertilizers, but rising costs threaten crop production sustainability. Additionally, supply constraints caused by global fertilizer crises have led to decreased planting intentions for staple crops such as rice and potatoes for upcoming seasons, impacting overall fertilizer demand. The government’s subsidy programs partially mitigate these issues, but persistent price instability remains a critical hurdle.

Peru Specialty Fertilizers Market Trend:

Adoption of Precision and Sustainable Fertilization Technologies – Peru’s specialty fertilizers industry trend is the accelerated adoption of precision agriculture and sustainable fertilization technologies. Farmers increasingly use technologies like GPS-guided machinery and variable rate application systems to optimize fertilizer efficiency and reduce waste. Moreover, micronutrient and bio-based fertilizers are becoming popular, driven by government incentives for sustainable practices and environmental regulations. Companies such as Yara International, Haifa Group, and Nutrien Ltd. are introducing tailored products focusing on nutrient use efficiency and crop-specific formulations. This shift supports sustainable agricultural growth while addressing environmental concerns and enhancing farmer profitability.
