European Market – Weekly Closing
Europe records 742 arrivals with strong growth from Peru and a decrease from Chile
Arrivals to Europe fall 9% weekly, but exceed 2025 levels by 9%; Peru doubles shipments and displaces Chile.
The European market closed the period with 742 arrivals, a figure that represents a 9% drop compared to the previous week, but a 9% increase compared to the same week in 2025. The volume is also above the usual records for this time of year, when historically around 600 shipments or less are observed.
In terms of market share, the market showed a balanced distribution among the main origins. Spain accounted for 26%, Israel 25%, and Colombia also 25%, creating a very even scenario among the three suppliers. Morocco reached 9%, while Peru climbed to 7%, surpassing Chile, which stood at 6%. Mexico registered a 2% share.
The most significant change compared to the previous week came from Peru, which more than doubled its shipment volume. In contrast, Chile reduced its shipments by 48% compared to the previous period. This trend confirms the beginning of Peru's usual consolidation in the European market, with a gradual advance that, as is typical, will eventually lead it to become the bloc's main supplier.
In terms of prices, Rotterdam showed a general decline. Medium sizes were the most affected, particularly size 22, which registered a 9% decrease compared to the previous week, along with size 24. Small sizes showed greater stability: size 30 remained unchanged, and size 32 even increased by 3%. In Spain, sizes 18-20 were priced slightly below $4 per kilo.
Jorge Rosés pointed out that Europe accounts for most of Chilean avocado exports, especially during the off-season window, when local supply is limited and demand remains high.
