Peru leads the European avocado market in a week of record volume highs

The European avocado market closed the week with the arrival of approximately 1,145 containers, marking a 13% increase compared to the previous week and 56% above the records for the same period in 2024. The volume continues to exceed historical figures and confirms that the market reaches its peak supply at this time of year.

During the same period last year, volumes also hovered around a thousand containers, although at lower levels than current figures. This trend demonstrates a sustained growth pattern week after week.

Regarding market share, Peru consolidated its leadership this week with 53% of the total volume, followed by South Africa with 24%. Spain, although its share is gradually decreasing, maintains 8%, while Brazil holds 6%. Kenya and Tanzania together represent 5%, and Colombia reaches 4%. Chilean exports, meanwhile, are now practically absent from the European market.

Among the most significant changes this week is the 41% increase in volumes from South Africa, positioning it as the second largest supplier after Peru. In contrast, Morocco, Spain, and Brazil show a downward trend, having left behind their weeks of greatest market presence.

In Rotterdam, slight price decreases were observed. Size 18 fell by 3%, and smaller sizes decreased by 4%. Although these variations are not pronounced, they could be indicative of a future trend. Meanwhile, Spain showed price increases in some categories, registering a 5% rise in size 18, although the values remain similar to those observed in Rotterdam.

The European avocado market shows a wide supply, led by Peru and South Africa, in a context of relatively stable prices, with signs that anticipate possible adjustments as the season progresses.
