The United States market, as of the end of week 43, confirms more than ever the supremacy of Mexican avocados. 98% of the fruit in the country originates from Mexico.

The country received 1,377 shipments, including containers and trucks, which represents 9% less than the previous week and 14% lower than the same date in 2023.

The main reason is the reduction in Mexican fruit, which fell by 8%. The only country that stands out as a supplement is Chile, although its shipments decreased by 39%, yet it still accounts for 1.2% of the total. The remaining suppliers, combined, do not exceed 1% of the avocados that arrived in the United States at the end of week 43.

In this market, prices are falling across virtually all sizes. For example, size 48 (medium/large) saw a 16% price decrease, while size 70 (small) experienced a 10% drop. The only exception to this trend is the largest fruit.
