The European avocado market adjusts with fewer shipments from Chile

The European market closes week 49 with the import of 658 containers, which represents approximately 11% less than the volume imported in week 48 (737 containers).

There were fluctuations in market share: Chile contributed 26%, followed by Colombia and Morocco, both with 22%, and Israel with 21%. Further behind were Spain (7%) and Mexico, with almost 2%. Arrivals from Chile decreased by 39% compared to the previous week, falling from 284 shipments to 172. In contrast, Israel continues to increase its shipments, reaching 136 containers this week. 144 containers arrived from Colombia, a volume relatively similar to previous weeks, reflecting the stability of this origin.

In the Netherlands, prices for larger gauges are normal and stable. However, sizes 22 and 24 are facing considerable pressure due to excess volume. On the other hand, prices for smaller gauges have not shown any recovery, remaining at low levels.

In the Spanish market, prices are behaving differently. Large fruit from Chile continues to command the highest price, although this price is decreasing week after week. In contrast, prices for Spanish and Moroccan fruit are showing signs of stability, and even some increases.
