Tridge summary

The Peruvian avocado campaign is currently facing challenges such as lower production, smaller fruit sizes, and a significant pest issue exacerbated by high temperatures. Producers are delaying harvests to improve fruit size for better market distribution, especially targeting the United States and Europe. Despite these challenges, avocado consumption in the U.S. is on the rise, and Peru is expanding its market reach, including new exports to Malaysia.
