China reduces its arrivals to 33 shipments, a 42% drop compared to the previous week
The Chinese market is experiencing a year-end marked by a significant contraction in volumes and increased price pressure. In the week under review, 33 shipments were recorded, representing a 42% drop compared to the previous week and a 13% decrease compared to the same period last year. This decline confirms a less dynamic market environment with a clearly more limited supply.
The composition of the origins shows a strong concentration. This week, no arrivals were observed from Peru, and the supply comes almost exclusively from Chile, which accounts for 97% of the volume. Mexico participates marginally with 3%, equivalent to a single shipment. While there is some Mexican presence, its behavior reflects marked intermittency, while Chile maintains volumes very similar to those recorded the previous week, consolidating its position as the main supplier during this period.
In terms of prices, the trend is also clearly downward. An average drop of nearly 20% is observed in sizes between 18 and 24, following a seasonal pattern similar to last year's for these final weeks of the year, although with more significant adjustments. This decline has brought prices close to $2 per kilo for both Chilean and Peruvian fruit, creating a highly sensitive market environment.
