From January to August 2026, 160 exporters in Peru, Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia shipped US$ 219.94 million of fresh mandarin, 172,235 tonnes at US$ 1.29 per kilo. In the same months of 2025, 166 exporters shipped US$ 243.88 million, 215,100 tonnes at US$ 1.17. The tonnes fell 19.9% and the value 9.8%, while the price per kilo rose 10.3%.

I went through the customs export records of Peru (SUNAT), Ecuador, Mexico and Colombia (DIAN) shipment by shipment, from January 2025 to the latest day each one has published: the 20th of October 2026 for Peru, the 23rd of October for Ecuador, the 27th of August for Mexico and the 6th of August for Colombia. I counted fresh mandarin, tangerine and clementine under subheadings 080521, 080522 and 080529. The comparisons between years use January to August. The price per kilo is the value divided by the net kilos, and it leaves out sales between companies of one group and shipments declared at more than five times the median price or under a fifth of it. Since January 2025, 262 exporters shipped US$ 570.15 million in 25,609 shipments, to 519 buyers in 40 countries.

Peru shipped US$ 567.40 million of those US$ 570.15 million. The other three countries together shipped less than US$ 3 million, so this is, in practice, a list of Peruvian exporters.

If you import fresh mandarin, this shows who sells it, at what price, in which months and to how many buyers.
