AVOCADOS: READY TO GUAC!
|
Current origins at Special Fruit: Chile, Colombia, Spain and Israel. Other origins in the market: Mexico and Guatemala. In general a good supply of all origins prices, putting pressure on the prices, mainly in the small sizes 22-24.
Volumes in Chile are winding down quickly; it will be a faster ending of the season than first expected.
South-Africa is having an off-season this year; this may help to have a more balanced market with all the volume coming from Peru.
Spain and Israel are having a good campaign but as always, the highest prices in the market. Morocco is having an off year; down to 40% less than last year.
Less volume from Mexico coming our way because of the Superbowl in the States.
First Hass arrivals from Peru are forecasted for week 13.

Rainfall in Brazil is causing weaker figs and less supply. So for the next period supply might be short but with good planning, regular volumes should be possible to obtain. We expect more smaller sized fruits for the next few weeks.
