According to initial estimates, the 2020-21 avocado campaign in Chile, the world number three Hass exporter with nearly 135 000 tonnes shipped in 2019-20, is set for a shortfall. Because of the drought during the summer and abnormally cold temperatures during flowering and fruit-setting, Chilean production potential is estimated to be 10 to 20 % down on the previous campaign, and 22 % below the four-year average. The exports trade-off in favour of Europe, to the detriment of the US market, should continue this season. In addition, the diversification to other markets, especially in Latin America, should also be confirmed.
