It added these figures were a small fraction of the country’s 19,000MT of blueberries produced annually.
Fruit production has exceeded the annual average of 4.5 million kilos.
Argentine blueberry shipments totaled 2,042,000 kg (2,042 tons) in the course of 42 week. United States received 1,247 tonnes, while Continental Europe and UK received nearly 665 tons altogether.
The blueberries harvest who is in full execution in the province of Salta, suffered some difficulty due to the lack of people to hand pick the fruits in time.
