UPDATE: AVOCADOS

September 29, 2026

Rain and thunderstorms across Michoacán, Mexico are causing short-term harvesting disruptions; however, overall avocado supplies remain available. Market conditions are expected to remain steady, with weather-related harvest and shipping delays representing the primary near-term challenge.

Mexico

  • Weather remains the primary factor influencing market conditions and harvest activity
  • Supplies are expected to remain adequate, although intermittent weather-related shipping delays may occur
  • Large-size fruit continues to command a premium, while smaller counts remain more competitively priced
  • Quality is generally holding steady, although wet field conditions may require increased quality management as growers work through harvest interruptions
  • Market pricing is stable overall, with larger sizes maintaining stronger value

California

  • The California harvest is approximately 95% complete; weekly volume will decline through the rest of the season
  • The crop remains heavily weighted toward larger sizes, with 48-count fruit representing 32% of pack out
    • 60-count supplies account for 10% of shipments
    • 70-count stocks make up 5% of orders
  • Mexican fruit will supplement domestic supplies as needed to fill orders and maintain consistent availability

Peru

  • This season is nearing completion, with final containers currently in transit and expected to arrive over the coming weeks
  • The remaining inventory is primarily concentrated in 40-count and larger fruit
  • Most supplies are largely committed to existing programs, although limited spot opportunities may be available depending on pricing and inventory positions
