UPDATE: AVOCADOS

May 18, 2022

Small avocados are becoming limited as demand has shifted to these sizes. Expect limited supplies and elevated markets through the summer.

  • Volume is anticipated to be 10 million pounds short of weekly projections
  • Expect elevated markets and tight supplies through the summer

California

  • Yields are down from the peak two weeks ago
  • Size curve favors smaller sizes, which is welcome as Mexico and Peru are shipping predominately large fruit
  • Quality is good
  • Expect elevated markets and tight supplies through the summer

Peru

  • Fruit has begun to arrive this week
  • Expect volume to ramp up over the next few weeks
  • Projections for this season are up 25% over last year’s numbers
