Quinoa Exports by Country

Peru and Bolivia both rebounded in 2024, but their longer-term paths differ: Peru was 5.8 percent above its 2020 level, while Bolivia was 21.1 percent below it. The figures below aggregate FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral records for item Quinoa, 2020-2024, pairing export quantity in tonnes with export value in current US dollars. The dataset contains 87 country records, with 2024 quantities reported for 63 of them, and the 2024 listed quantity total is 113,576 tonnes. Looking at both periods gives a clearer picture of how the two leading exporters have moved.

Methodology

Small reporters keep two decimals in this table, so 564.66 tonnes stays 564.66, not 565, because rounding them away would discard information the source preserves. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for quinoa exports, 2020-2024; values are full current US dollars without inflation adjustment. Displayed quantities keep two decimals below 1,000 tonnes and whole tonnes above; values are full current US dollars, unadjusted for inflation. The 2024 quinoa exports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the quinoa exports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. The quinoa exports change uses overlapping reporters only; countries entering or leaving the listed set are shown separately. Partner-derived gap filling and food-aid additions can apply, and unreconciled bilateral pairs mean an export entry and its mirror import may not match.
