All-time peak in avocado prices

Until then, it will be difficult to have reliable prospects. The exporter believes that any forecast made now is practically just conjecture.

However, he explains that, at this time, given the very little supply, the price of the old harvest is very high. "It has skyrocketed. The fruit is sold for over 50 $ per box, which is a historic milestone. Mexican producers hope to start the new harvest with higher prices, but no one knows how high they will actually be at that time."

According to the producer, the forecasts are based on the little volume supplied by Peru and California. In fact, he adds, California producers are very happy, because they are taking advantage of these high prices. "This type of situation benefits the US avocado industry," he concludes.
