Spain registers increases of up to 50% in avocados while Kenya and Tanzania gain ground

The European market closed the week with 775 avocado shipments, representing an 8% decrease compared to the previous week. However, compared to the same period in 2024, shipments are 9% higher, consolidating a growth trend in supply to the continent.

Peru remains the leading supplier, with a 71% share, although its market share has decreased slightly. Kenya follows, reaching 13% and exceeding 100 containers per week after a 20% increase in shipments. Colombia consolidates its third-place position with 11%, showing stability with 2% growth and also approaching the 100-container mark. South Africa, in contrast, registered a 24% drop, leaving it with 5% of the total.

One of the week's highlights was seen in prices. Significant increases were reported in both Rotterdam and Spain, especially for large and medium gauges. The 18 gauge in Rotterdam rose 36%, marking a milestone: for the first time this year, its price surpassed that of the 48 gauge in the United States, which has been declining for several weeks. This price level in Europe hadn't been seen since week 23. In Spain, some gauges registered increases of up to 50%, reinforcing the upward pressure on the market.

The European landscape is also influenced by Colombian supply trends. Jorge Molina noted that, after a brief pause, the sector is entering a crucial phase with the start of the main 2025-2026 harvest, the first shipments of which will begin arriving in Europe in the coming weeks.
