Europe registers a 30% year-on-year increase in avocado volume, while Peru dominates the supply

During week 26, the European avocado market received a total of 1,074 containers, a figure that remained virtually unchanged from the previous week, with a slight increase of 0.5%. However, compared to the same period last year, the recorded volume represents a significant increase of 30%, confirming the strong demand for the product on the continent.

Peru consolidates its absolute leadership in this market, controlling 80% of the supply. Colombia and South Africa are positioned at a considerable distance, with shares of 8% and 7% respectively, closely followed by Kenya and Tanzania, which contribute the remaining 5%. The origin structure remains largely unchanged, although South Africa shows a notable relative increase of 69% compared to the previous week. However, in absolute terms, its volume remains below 100 containers.

Price analysis reveals disparate trends among key markets across the continent. In Rotterdam, prices for 18 gauge saw an 8% decrease, while 30 gauge fell by 6%, reflecting an adjustment in the most in-demand sizes. In contrast, the Spanish market showed signs of strength, with a 7% increase in 18 gauge. This rebound also extended to intermediate gauges, such as 22 gauge, which experienced similar increases.
