UPDATE: AVOCADOS

March 7, 2025

Industry supplies remain adequate. Mexican growers have reduced pricing for next week’s loading, as the 25% tariff has been removed.

Mexico

  • Large sizes (32- to 48-count fruit) remain tight, as Mexican growers continue to slow harvesting, driving up demand
  • Size and grade substitutions may be requested to fill orders
  • Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening within a case) has been reported
  • Expect elevated markets and tight supplies for the next three weeks

California

  • Expect limited harvesting through next week due to rain
  • Mexican-grown fruit may need to be substituted to fill orders
  • Supplies are dominated by medium sizes (48- through 60-count fruit)
  • Elevated markets and tight supplies are forecast through next week

Colombia

  • Imports will ship into the East Coast through May; these supplies only account for 5% of U.S. demand
  • 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
