European market
Europe receives 1,219 shipments and Peru reaches 68% of the market
Week 20 showed a 22% year-on-year increase in avocado arrivals to Europe, while Rotterdam recorded further price drops in almost all sizes.
The European avocado market maintained its dynamism during week 20, with a total of 1,219 shipments arriving, a figure that represents an increase of 8% compared to the previous week and a solid growth of 22% compared to the same period last year.
Peru continues to consolidate its leadership as the continent's main supplier and has even expanded its market share, reaching 68% of the total market. The Peruvian presence continues to set the pace of European trade and reaffirms its dominant position in the peak season.
South Africa followed with an 11% share, then Brazil with 10% and Colombia with 5%. Kenya and Tanzania together accounted for 3%, while Spain still maintains a negligible presence with 2%. Mexico, meanwhile, registered a share of practically less than 1%.
The high concentration of Peruvian supply continues to impact price behavior, especially in Rotterdam, where Peruvian fruit prices showed further declines across all sizes.
The most pronounced declines were seen in large and medium gauges, particularly 18 and 24 gauge, which registered the most significant drops during the week. Small gauges also continued to adjust downwards, although less intensely, extending a trend that has been observed for several weeks.
In Spain, the situation was similar, although more stable. Prices remained fairly close to the previous week's levels and did not experience the steep declines seen in Rotterdam, reflecting a somewhat more restrained market in the face of supply adjustments.
