Avocado markets adjust as volumes stay strong

Week 41 brought slight week-over-week declines across key avocado markets, with overall volumes significantly higher than in 2024, Avobook states in its latest report. 

In the United States, total arrivals reached 1,585 containers, down three percent from the previous week but up 29 percent year-on-year. Mexico continues to dominate supply with an 89 percent market share, followed by California (six percent) and Peru (three percent). Chilean avocados entered the market for the first time this season with a one percent share. 

Prices in the US remained firm, with increases of up to five percent reported for larger fruit.

Europe sees growth, price corrections

European avocado arrivals totaled 982 containers, representing a five percent weekly decline but a 60 percent yearly increase. Peru’s market share in the continent fell below 50 percent, while Chile expanded to 24 percent. Prices adjusted downward, particularly for sizes 18 and 32.

In China, market activity remained limited, with only one container arriving from Peru. 

Meanwhile, the Andean country exported 148 containers in week 40, down 50 percent from last week but still 244 percent higher year-over-year. The reduction marks the gradual winding down of the country’s avocado season.
