Chile takes the lead in the Chinese avocado market with a 95% weekly share

The Chinese avocado market showed a moderate recovery during week 41, registering a total of 20 containers, 19 of which came from Chile and one from Peru. This represents a 33% increase compared to the previous week, although still 9% below the volume recorded in the same period last year. With these figures, Chile has achieved a 95% market share in the Chinese market for the first time in the 2025/26 season.

The current limited supply reflects a natural adjustment to the season and the transition between supplier origins. No official data on prices in the Chinese market were reported, but experts agree that demand remains selective and focused on high-quality fruit.

Specialist Andrés Vargas highlighted that the appeal of Chilean avocados remains a significant factor in this market, based on their quality and customer confidence. He explained that at the start of the season, Chile set the price standard, backed by its reputation, while Peru Premium responded with a one-off 10% price reduction to remain competitive. However, some of the Chilean fruit presented in the first few weeks showed low dry matter content, which temporarily slowed sales and limited market activity.
