Production is set for a very good level with the two main suppliers to the European market. A powerful positive alternate bearing effect is expected in South Africa, after a small 2017 harvest. Volumes available for export, practically solely aimed at the European market, should rise by approximately 50 % to near the 2014 record. Peru, with young orchards entering into production and coming into their prime, should generate production growth of 15 to 20 %, following on from a big rise in 2017. Furthermore, the magnitude of Mexican production and the return to a big harvest in California could weight down on growth in exports to the United States, Peru’s other big market. The strong consumption growth margins existing in Europe will need to be stimulated. The promotion campaign by the World Avocado Organization, which will be in full swing during this summer season, will provide precious aid.
