The Chinese avocado market closed week 42 with a total of 21 arrivals, representing a 5% increase compared to the previous week and 24% more than in the same period of 2024. Although this is a moderate increase, the behavior confirms the stability of the Asian market at a time of year traditionally characterized by low import volumes.

Shipments come almost equally from Chile and Peru, with a slight advantage for Peruvian production, which accounted for 52% of the total compared to 48% from Chile. This balance has fluctuated week by week, reflecting the gradual end of the Peruvian season and the steady increase in Chilean supply.

Historically, the last quarter of the year does not typically see high import volumes to China, as the peak of trade is concentrated between April and May. During this period, arrivals rarely exceed 50 containers per week, placing current levels within the normal range for the end of the season.

Regarding prices, the market showed a slight increase of 8% in the 18-24 gauge range. Prices remain very close to last year's levels, just below 2024 levels, although clearly higher than those observed in 2023 and 2022. This behavior reflects steady demand, with an increasingly consolidated consumer base in the premium segment.
