Stable volumes, but market still exhibiting strong growth

For the first time since the start of the decade, in 2019-20 the world avocado trade stagnated in volume terms, as opposed to an average growth of 200 000 tonnes per season. Does this point to the market hardening up? Certainly not! While the major over-supply crises to the EU-28 during summer 2018 and again this year are indeed alarming, the record for the winter season is quite the opposite. It was not demand which was lacking, but rather the supply, as is attested by the excellent price levels registered on the two main world markets. FruiTrop offers this review of the production context and an overview of the world’s main markets.
