Chinese market
Avocado arrivals to China fall 83% in week 20
Week 20 saw only 22 avocado shipments, all from Peru, while prices continued to adjust downwards in the main sizes.
The Chinese avocado market contracted sharply in week 20, with only 22 shipments registered, all of them Peruvian fruit. This figure represents an 83% drop compared to the previous week and returns the market to a volume similar to that observed in week 18.
Although the decline appears pronounced, the intermittent nature of arrivals remains a constant characteristic of the Chinese market, where weeks of low volume alternate with weeks of high arrivals. Therefore, current trends do not yet allow for the establishment of a definitive pattern.
Peru maintains absolute control over supplies to this destination, accounting for 100% of arrivals this week. However, a significant volume is projected to arrive next week, even exceeding that recorded in week 19, which would further reinforce this pattern of alternating between slower and busier weeks.
Meanwhile, prices are also continuing to show signs of adjustment. Although the drop wasn't as sharp as the previous week, there was a significant decrease in traded values, especially for sizes 18 to 24.
Currently, these sizes are trading around US$3.5 per kilo, approaching the levels seen in week 20 of 2025, although they are still above that year's price. In contrast, current prices are already below those recorded for the same week in 2024.
Comparative analysis remains complex because the price patterns between seasons have been very different. However, volatility continues to be a constant in this market, where prices can experience sharp rises or falls in short periods of time.
