The avocado harvest season in Mexico began in July with the picking of the "Flor Loca" variety. This first fruit of the season lasts approximately two to three months.

According to estimates from the Association of Avocado Producers and Packers of Mexico (APEAM), a total volume of avocados is expected in Michoacán for the 2025-2026 season of 232,000 tons, while in Jalisco a production of "Flor Loca" is estimated at 79,000 tons.

Compared to last season, the figures show a slight decrease in Michoacán (237,000 tons) and a slight increase in Jalisco (72,000 tons). However, overall, this year's harvest is expected to be similar to last year's, without major variations.

APEAM is a trusted source in the Mexican avocado industry, and its estimates are widely followed by growers, packers, and marketers. The avocado harvest in Mexico is a significant event for the local and national economy. The Michoacán and Jalisco regions are known as some of the world's leading producers of high-quality avocados.

Now, in the coming weeks we will have the estimates of the total 2025-2026 harvests, which include Flor Loca, Aventajado, Marceña and Negra at the end of the complete campaign which is before July 2026.

Everything seems to indicate that the total harvest will be equal to or slightly greater than the last one of the 2024-2025 season. The weather in this last year, especially in Michoacán, has been favorable for a good harvest, especially in terms of rainfall.

As soon as we have this information, we will be sharing it through Avobook.
