Peru — squid, scallops and mango
Squid, scallops and mango on the Pacific coast.
The market in brief
Peru's cold, nutrient-rich Humboldt current supports one of the world's great fisheries. For frozen trade, the headline species is giant squid (pota) — processed into fillets, rings, tentacles and value-added formats — alongside scallops, mahi and a fast-growing frozen fruit sector led by mango.
Processing is concentrated around Paita and Sullana in the north, with plants experienced in European, Asian and North American programs. Resource management and seasonal availability shape supply, so program planning matters more here than in farmed-species origins.
For buyers, Peru offers species you cannot source at scale elsewhere. Understanding seasonality, formats and reliable partners is exactly where an analyst assessment pays off.
