Compared to the previous year, China has doubled its avocado imports, but prices continue to fall.
The Chinese avocado market closed week 22 with a strong surge in imports, reaching a total of 105 shipments. This figure not only far surpasses the levels of the previous week—which were affected by logistical disruptions at the ports—but also represents more than double the volume recorded during the same period last year.
The recovery in container arrivals has returned the Chinese market to a rate exceeding 100 shipments per week, a threshold that had been temporarily interrupted by port reception delays. This acceleration consolidates China as one of the most dynamic markets for avocado demand, with figures reflecting a sustained growth trend compared to the historical highs of 2024.
This week, prices were 27% lower than those recorded during the same week last year. Furthermore, the downward trend has remained consistent since approximately week 14 or 15 of this year, confirming sustained downward pressure on prices.
In the weekly comparison, the most commercially successful sizes, from 18 to 24, experienced an additional drop of 7% compared to the previous week.
