The Chinese market grew 24% compared to last year, and Peru led the way with increases in prices and volumes.

The Chinese market continues to show steady growth in avocado imports, with an upward trend that persists week after week. During week 12, 52 containers entered the country, 96% of which came from Peru, while the remainder originated in Chile.

This volume represents a 24% increase compared to the same week last year, when imports remained below 50 containers per week between weeks 12 and 15. The current situation reflects improved performance and a sustained recovery in trade flow to this destination.

Regarding prices, significant changes were also recorded. Sizes 18 to 24 on the Peruvian route, which had been declining for the past three weeks, experienced a 26% rebound. Furthermore, this week's price is 47% higher than the value recorded during the same period in 2024, thus consolidating an improvement in both volume and value in the Chinese market.
