Avocado harvesting, packing, and shipping operations have started back in Michoacan, Mexico with limitations. The Mexican federal and state governments, along with industry leaders, are committed to settling these issues. Markon will continue to update as news develops.
- Inventories of Michoacan, Mexican avocados are low
- Michoacan has received rain in the front half of the week as Mexico enters their rainy season which will have a negative impact on the current Normal Crop supplies
- On a positive note, the rain will help size up the next (Loca) crop and is expected to begin shipping in two to three weeks
- California and Peruvian stocks will be shipped to help fill the void but will not meet U.S. demand
- Size, grade, and country of origin substitutions may be requested to fill orders
- Expect markets to level out and slowly decline in late July
