Peru: Peruvian Avocado Exports Expected to Bounce Back

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   PE2025-0005
Peruvian avocado exports are estimated to reach 630,000 metric tons (MT) in calendar year (CY) 2025, increasing two percent compared to the previous year. Avocado exports in 2024 decreased four percent from to 2023, totaling 594,000 MT a decline due to unusual cold weather conditions reducing productivity. Production is expected to bounce back, but a potential La Niña is looming on the Peruvian coast and may reduce avocado production in CY 2025 despite an expansion of planted area.
