The US avocado market has seen a considerable increase in prices for all sizes of the Mexican fruit, despite the rather modest total volume, according to the Avobook Report for week 31. An example of the price increase can be seen in size 48, which rose by 28%.

In contrast, Europe has seen an increase in total fruit shipments compared to last week, with Peru leading the way, maintaining a three-quarters market share, followed by South Africa. This represents a 15% increase in shipments.

China continues to show that the amount of imported fruit is significantly lower compared to the same week in 2023; meanwhile, Chile began its first shipments abroad with six containers. The first arrival in Europe is expected in week 33, while its domestic market is receiving less fruit from other countries, as the local supply has strengthened.
