Europe, the second most important market for avocados, also saw an increase in arrival volumes during week 14, with an estimated 839 containers arriving at its ports. This represents an 8% increase compared to the previous week, although it still remains 1% below the levels recorded during the same week last year.

The market share by origin continues to show Peru as the undisputed leader this week, with 35% of the market and a strong 47% increase in volume compared to the previous week, reaching almost 300 containers. Israel follows with 21%, although its shipments continue to decline week after week. Spain ranks third with 15%, followed by South Africa with 11%. Further behind are Brazil (6%), Kenya and Tanzania (6%), while the remaining origins do not exceed 5%. Colombia, meanwhile, maintains a very low volume, with fewer than 30 containers registered this week.

Regarding prices, the trend was mixed depending on the destination. In Spain, no significant changes were observed compared to the previous week, with prices remaining stable. However, in Rotterdam, increases were recorded for all sizes, notably size 18 with a 9% rise and size 30 with an 8% increase.

From a market analysis perspective, Carlos Ocaña warned that Mediterranean fruit is facing a changing landscape: prolonged rains in Spain—now lasting 20 days—and strong domestic consumption in Morocco due to Ramadan have accelerated the end of their seasons. Against this backdrop, Peru is boasting a record harvest, but also faces the challenge of not saturating the market. If volumes are not managed properly, the risk of a sharp drop in prices could materialize.
