Large size Mexican avocado supplies (32- to 48- count fruit) remain tight; smaller sizes are recommended as substitutions.

Mexico

• Large sizes (32- to 48-count supplies) remain extremely limited
• Smaller sizes (60- to 70-count fruit) are increasing; these supplies are filling the void of large size avocado shortages
• Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening within a case) has been reported
• Anticipate a substantial price savings when ordering small sizes (70- to 84-count stocks) as compared to large size fruit
• Expect elevated prices for large sizes and steady markets for smaller fruit for the next four to six weeks

California

• Yields continue to diminish week over week, as the season will wind down in late August
• The crop is currently dominated by 48- and 60-count No. 1 grade fruit
• Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening) has been reported
• Expect stable pricing
