Tridge summary

Peru's avocado exports to Europe have seen a growth of 15% in the first 21 weeks of the year, reaching 149,468 tons. The country aims to export 341,850 tons to Europe by the end of the year, although this figure is lower than the initial projection of 358,685 tons due to smaller fruit size caused by climate changes and high temperatures. The United States market is currently well supplied, so Peru's avocado has not been exported there. However, the Peruvian avocado is expected to be activated in the US market in the middle of the month, as the Mexican offer decreases. In Asia, Peru's avocado shipments have increased by 44.3% compared to 2022, with China receiving a record number of containers. Prices in Asia are expected to improve as Peruvian avocado shipments decrease. Chile, which is reducing its production due to water problems, will purchase avocados from Peru, Colombia, and Mexico.
