“South African avocado harvest starts earlier”

The prices for Greenskin avocados from Israel are currently at a fairly high level. “This is being caused by the weather circumstances in Israel. Prices will remain stable for the next two weeks, but from week 9 volumes from Israel will start decreasing, which could result in further increasing prices,” Elena Rogojnikova from Hagé International expects.

“The harvest from avocados from South Africa will start earlier this year. Most avocados are expected in Europe around week 10. Volumes will be a bit low, which is why prices will remain a bit high for now,” Elena continues. “Many Hass avocados were sent to Europe from Chile at the start of the season. Compared to last year, we currently have much less Chilean fruit on the market. Last year there was plenty of supply until March. There is plenty of supply from Spain, with an emphasis on small sizes (20-22-24).”
