Mexico’s normal-style supplies (typically known for higher oil content) are tightening as the season will end in early June. Growers will then transition to the loca-style crop (typically known for lower oil content). Peru will begin shipping stocks to the U.S. the week of May 26.

Mexico

• Normal-style supplies will diminish as the season winds down
• New loca-style avocados will begin shipping in early June
• Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening within a case) has been reported
• Expect steady markets and low yields through June

California

• Harvesting has increased
• Domestic supplies will help fill the void from Mexican-grown stocks
• The crop is dominated by medium sizes (48- through 60-count fruit)
• Quality is good; firm fruit has been reported even when ripe
• Expect high prices; demand is strong due to Mexico’s falling volume

Colombia

• Imports will ship into the East Coast through May; these supplies only account for 5% of U.S. demand
• There is a 10% tariff on all Colombian fruit
• The crop is currently dominated by small sizes (60- to 84-count fruit)
• Quality is comparable to that in Mexico; texture is creamy and oil content is high

Peru

• Expect low yields as shipments start arriving on the East Coast
• This season will run through August
• Peruvian avocados account for 7% of the U.S demand, with most being program business
• There is a 10% tariff on all Peruvian fruit
