Mark Everett from Worldwide Fruit has expressed satisfaction with the avocado quality received from both South Africa and Peru this season, noting improvements in Peru's quality despite previous challenges. Shipments from both countries have met expectations, with Peru experiencing some size and yield issues, particularly in the north. Demand for avocados in the UK has surged, with sales up by 28.9% in the 12 weeks leading to 1 September 2024, as reported by Kantar. The fastest growth was observed when the fruit was sold ripe and ready to eat.
