Peru continues to be the leading supplier of avocadoes to China with 26 000 MT in 2021 and already standing at 11% more this year, followed by Mexico with 13 400 MT and Chile.
With new market access granted to Kenya, U.S. avocados are expected to face even stronger competition in China’s avocado market. Local Chinese avocado production will ramp up over the next 5 years.
China’s avocado production and imports are estimated to grow as the demand for high-quality fresh avocados continue to rise. Top consumers are females, under 35 years of age, and residing in first-tier cities.
