At the close of week 4, the European avocado market recorded 649 containers, representing an increase of 13% compared to the previous week and 28% more compared to the same period last year.

The market share is evenly split between Spain and Israel, each with a 31% share. Colombia ranks third with 18%, followed by Morocco with 10% and Chile with 7%. Mexico, meanwhile, has a smaller presence, less than 2%. Peru is expected to join the market next week, although with relatively small volumes.

Among the countries that have increased their volume compared to the previous week are Colombia and Morocco, while Chile continues its downward trend. Israel, despite a 5% reduction in shipments, maintains more than 200 containers per week. The performance of Peru and the point at which Israel will begin to reduce its presence will be key factors in the coming weeks.

Regarding prices, in the Netherlands, larger gauges have shown minimal variations, with a 1% adjustment for gauge 18. In contrast, smaller gauges have seen significant increases. Gauge 30 rose by 33%. In Spain, gauge 18 fell by 6%, while gauge 30 rose by 16%.
