Weekly overview of the US market
The U.S. receives 1,606 shipments, with Mexico accounting for 99% of the market.
Shipments are growing 2% weekly and 7% year-on-year in the US, with Mexico dominating 99% and an expected price rebound in March.
At the close of week 8, the U.S. market recorded approximately 1,606 avocado shipments arriving in the country, representing a 2% increase compared to the previous week. Year-over-year, the volume is 7% higher than that observed during the same week last year, confirming a slightly higher supply level than projected for 2025.
In terms of market share, there are no changes in the market structure. Mexico maintains 99% of shipments to the United States, while the remaining percentage corresponds primarily to the Dominican Republic. Within the small market share occupied by other origins, Colombia has significantly decreased its shipments, as has California. In contrast, the Dominican Republic registered a 12% increase in its shipments, although its presence remains marginal within the total.
Adding to this scenario is the perspective of Antonio Villaseñor, who points out that historically, March tends to mark a price rebound. According to his analysis, an upward reaction is common during that month, a situation that could benefit the Mexican industry by allowing it to access better returns in the US market.
