Chinese market
China's volume is up 27% compared to week 19 of 2025
The Chinese market recorded 126 shipments from Peru in week 19, with a year-on-year increase of 27% and price adjustments.
Week 19 of the Chinese market closed with a total of 126 avocado shipments from Peru, marking a significant increase compared to the previous week. This performance reflects the intermittent nature of supply in recent weeks, with constant fluctuations in arrival volumes.
In addition to the weekly increase, the volume is also 27% higher than that recorded in the same week of 2025, reflecting a greater presence of Peruvian fruit in this destination during the current campaign.
Regarding prices, the market showed a correction after the sharp increase observed the previous week. The drop was almost the same magnitude as the previous rise, confirming the volatility that this destination maintains in response to changes in availability.
Despite this recent decrease, prices remain higher than those traded this week in previous years. Currently, prices are almost a dollar per kilo higher than those recorded in 2025, and also exceed the levels observed in 2023 and 2024.
Regarding this behavior, André Vargas explained that supply has remained erratic throughout April, preventing the market from building up adequate inventories. He noted that as long as this situation persists, prices will continue to react strongly to any adjustment in availability.
He also indicated that recent experience shows that China can sustain high prices when supply remains fragmented or limited, but it also shows that any significant accumulation of fruit generates rapid corrections in the market.
