The US avocado market reaches its highest volume in 16 weeks, driven by Mexico and Peru.
The U.S. avocado market closed week 29 with a significant increase in volume, reaching approximately 1,731 containers and trucks. This increase represents an 8% rise compared to the previous week and consolidates an upward trend that has continued for three consecutive weeks. This volume has not been seen since week 13 of this year.
Mexico positioned itself as the leading supplier, accounting for 57% of total imports to the U.S. market. It was followed by Peru with 21%, California with 14%, and Colombia with 7%. Compared to the previous week, significant variations were observed: Mexico increased its volume by 12%, Peru by 28%, while California and Colombia experienced declines of 15% and 11%, respectively.
Regarding prices, downward adjustments were observed in most sizes. Size 48 registered the most pronounced decrease, with a 13% drop. Medium sizes, such as 60 and 70, also showed price declines. The only size that remained stable was 84, corresponding to a smaller fruit.
Regarding the local supply, Gary Clevenger reported that the California avocado season is entering its final phase, with about 25% of the 2025 crop still available, which translates to about eight more weeks of promoteable volume.
For his part, Sergio Paz noted that the purchase price for this season is already the lowest in the last four years. In this context, it is not surprising that the value of Mexican fruit decreased during the month of July. Furthermore, Paz highlighted that the volume exported by Mexico in the first three weeks of this season is 43% higher than that recorded in the same period of the previous year. However, he cautioned that it is still too early to establish a definitive trend.
