The US avocado market rebounded in week 7, but remains below 2024 levels.
The US avocado market showed a recovery in week 7, with approximately 1,230 shipments received. This volume represents a 28% increase compared to the previous week, although it remains 20% below the levels recorded during the same period in 2024.
Mexico continues to lead exports with an 85% market share, followed by Colombia with 9%, California with 3%, and Chile with 1%. Colombia's growth is noteworthy, with shipments increasing by 50% compared to the previous week, while Chile also showed a 43% improvement. Mexico, for its part, increased by 29%, consolidating its market dominance. In contrast, shipments from California fell by 28%.
As for prices, the market experienced another week of increases. Larger sizes reached $79 per 25-pound box, while smaller sizes, such as size 84, settled at $24. Although the increases were more pronounced in larger sizes, all categories saw a slight improvement compared to the previous week.
According to Sergio Paz, Mexico has enough fruit to meet demand, although the larger harvest in California could influence market dynamics in the coming weeks. Historically, both origins have maintained a synchronized supply, but a drop in prices is not expected in the short term.
