The US market showed a strong rebound at the close of week 10. A total of 1,993 shipments were recorded, a figure approaching 2,000 and representing an increase of nearly 40% compared to the previous week. The volume is also significantly higher than that recorded during the same week last year, with an increase of 85%.

The supply structure remains virtually unchanged. Mexico continues to dominate the supply with a 95% share, while California lags far behind with 3%, and the Dominican Republic contributes just over 1%. The remaining origins have a negligible presence in the market.

The weekly increase was primarily driven by Mexico, whose shipments grew by 39%, although California also showed a significant increase, with a 75% rise in volume. Meanwhile, the market completed its second consecutive week of price increases. Prices registered average increases of between 4% and 5% depending on size, with no major differences between sizes.

Antonio Villaseñor noted that February saw a 15% increase compared to last year, and that despite the record volume that continues to be sent to the market, the expectation is that the situation will remain stable and that inventories will not increase significantly.

From the production side, Gary Clevenger explained that California is still in a phase of gradual growth. Many growers continue to monitor both fruit maturity levels and market conditions before committing to larger harvest volumes.
