China maintains price stability while Peru retains 100% of the market

The Chinese market remained largely unchanged during week 14. An estimated 80 containers of avocados arrived, a slight decrease of 7% compared to the previous week, but still well above the levels recorded during the same week last year. This decrease does not alter the overall growth trend that the Asian country has been experiencing, nor its projection for the coming weeks, where weekly volumes exceeding 100 containers are already anticipated.

Regarding the origin of the fruit, Peru has solidified its position as the sole supplier this week. The marginal volume that Chile contributed in previous weeks—generally not exceeding 5%—has completely disappeared, leaving Peru as the only player in shipments to China. This absolute dominance marks a new phase in the season for this destination.

Prices, meanwhile, remained stable compared to the previous week, showing no significant variations. However, when compared to the same week in 2024, a 17% increase is observed, especially in the most in-demand sizes such as 18 to 24. This behavior, in fact, replicates a trend that tends to repeat itself year after year: right at this time of year, prices begin to climb week after week, forming an upward curve that, based on historical observations, could extend for at least four more weeks.

China continues to position itself as a key market, with clear signs of stability and price margins that remain attractive for the main supplier at this stage: Peru.
