El Niño phenomenon impacts Peru's blueberry harvest
According to Gabriel Figueroa, the director of Alpine Fresh, this season, the traditional varieties have quality and size issues, as sizes and volumes are smaller. In fact, the main projections indicate that there will be a 10% to 20% decrease in this year's production. However, he said, "Our Ventura and Sekoya berries are showing a very stable quality in the market, just as we expected."
