CHINA ANALYSIS
Avocado volume in China falls 8% while prices rise 28%
China accounts for 77 shipments (-8% weekly and -10% year-on-year). Peru dominates with 97%, and prices rise by up to 28% after previous declines.
The Chinese avocado market shows a marked behavior of adjustments in volume and a partial recovery in prices during week 13. Arrivals reached 77 shipments, representing a drop of 8% compared to the previous week and a decrease of 10% compared to the same period in 2025.
In terms of origin, market concentration is evident. Peru dominates with a 97% share, consolidating its position as the almost exclusive supplier at this stage. Chile, meanwhile, appears marginally, representing just 3% of the total, through isolated shipments.
Volume behavior has been marked by some intermittency in recent weeks, a dynamic that could continue in the short term, reflecting an irregular flow in the arrival of fruit to the Chinese market.
Regarding prices, a significant increase is observed in sizes 18 to 24, with rises of approximately 28%. However, this recovery has not yet offset the drop recorded in previous weeks, leaving the market in an adjustment phase following recent fluctuations.
Thus, China continues to show a volatile dynamic, with variations in the flow of shipments and a price recovery that, although significant, has not yet managed to fully stabilize the market.
