Peru's avocado season has reached 60% shipped — but weather forced a volume downgrade back to 2025 levels

Peruvian avocado exports have crossed the 60 percent mark of the season's total projected volume, but the overall forecast has been revised downward due to adverse weather conditions. Shipments are now expected to finish at levels comparable to 2025 rather than the growth originally anticipated.

Peru is one of the most important avocado origins for the U.S. market, particularly during the window when Mexican supply is transitioning or under pressure. A volume pullback matters for retail availability and pricing as summer demand stays strong.

Buyers managing avocado programs into August and September should watch how the remaining 40% of Peru's season unfolds, especially against the backdrop of already-tighter Mexican supply this year.
