Peru: Peru’s Avocado Production and Exports on the Rise
Despite the flooding and disruption caused by the coastal El Niño in March, Peruvian avocado production in CY 2017 is forecast to increase by 20 percent over CY 2016 due to new plantations coming into production. Although the El Niño caused harvest delays, avocado production numbers are forecast to bounce back during the peak April-June harvest season as a result of stabilizing weather conditions.
