Quinoa is a product that has been gaining relevance worldwide because the nutritional contribution it provides. Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador are the main traditional producers. The adaptability that has quinoa has generated that Asian, European and American countries are interested in the cultivation of this for its production and internal consumption. Until 2014, Bolivia was the main supplier of organic quinoa, but only to specific sectors, this was one of the reasons why Peru replaced it, becoming the main exporter and producer of quinoa. In 2015, the quinoa market suffered an oversupply, due to this the prices fell, and the exports dropped, however, in 2017, exportation of quinoa has been improving due to the demand of EE. UU and U.E. Finally, this study determines the main factors that affect the competitiveness of quinoa exports of Peru’s agricultural industry in the period 2012-2017 on a monthly basis, applying for the analysis the revealed comparative advantage index given by Bela Balassa. It is concluded that the factors that influence competitiveness are export of quinoa, productivity and production, leaving in the background the variables export price, producer price and harvested area. In addition, it is recommended to raise these competitiveness factors so that Peru maintains its leadership as a producer and exporter of quinoa.
