Last week, 3,750 tons were harvested and 4,779 were exported. This was because the fruit inventory in the packing facilities of the municipality of Uruapan was released on Saturday and could be exported over the weekend. It should be mentioned that this fruit had been in cold storage for more than a week and that surely part of the volume that had remained in chambers was already moved to the national market.

Last week's harvest was very low, mostly from Michoacan and sent to be packed in Jalisco.

This week, with only the packing facilities in the municipalities of Uruapan, San Juan, and Ziracuaretiro being released, the harvest will remain at a relatively low level of 2,700 tons. Added to this is the more normal start of the rainy season, which will be another factor limiting the harvest, so the expected volume for the week is low, between 400-500 loads.

We hope that in the coming days the entire industry will be freed up and allow exports to resume more normally.

For the time being, black harvest fruit will dominate for at least two more weeks, and the wild fruit will gradually be incorporated into exports in greater volume as the weeks go by.

We are facing a local and export market to the US with some confusion, especially regarding the price and volume level at which the market will be willing to pay for Mexican avocados.

We will have to wait this week for the re-entry of Mexican fruit into the market to normalize.

I wish you a happy start to the week.
