The Mexican avocado market remains unsettled as harvesting is paused in Michoacán while pricing discussions continue. Jalisco growers are harvesting normally, and packed fruit continues to cross into the U.S.
Supplies
- Michoacán
- No harvesting is taking place today, October 27, as pricing discussions remain ongoing
- There is currently no confirmed timeline for production to resume
- Jalisco
- Production continues at a normal pace today, with approximately three million pounds scheduled for harvest
Crossings & Transportation
- Packed fruit continues to cross into the U.S.
- The national trucking action that began yesterday reportedly had limited participation
- Discussions with the government remain ongoing
- Transportation conditions are being monitored
Value-Added Avocado Items
- Current ongoing issues will have no effect on Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) value-added avocado items
Outlook
- Because arrivals into the U.S. lag harvesting by several days, the current pause in Michoacán may affect arrivals later this week if harvesting does not resume soon
- Overall volume will depend on the timing of Michoacán’s return to production, along with transportation and weather conditions
Markon will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as additional information becomes available.
