During the close of week 30, the U.S. avocado market registered a significant decrease in import volumes, with an estimated total of 1,470 containers and trucks. This figure represents a 15% drop compared to the previous week, although it remains 13% above the volume observed during the same period last year.

The breakdown by origin shows that Mexico continues to lead the market with 59% of the total, followed by Peru with 21%, California with 15%, and Colombia with 5%. However, most suppliers reduced their shipments. Colombia registered the steepest decline, with a 38% drop compared to the previous week. Peru followed with a 15% decrease, Mexico with 13% less, and California with a 12% decrease.

Regarding prices, a downward trend was also observed, especially in .48 and .60 calibers. The .48 caliber fell by 9%, while the .60 caliber decreased by 14%. The other calibers have remained relatively stable.
