    99% of Peruvian avocado exports are concentrated in January-September, and exports are now nearing completion
    .
    Total exports reached 613,947 tons, an increase of 11% year-on-year, but exports were only US$976 million, a decrease of 10%.

    The average export price of Peruvian avocado is just $1.
    59/kg, close to the lowest point
    in the past four years.
     
    Due to the global logistics crisis, many countries have chosen to give priority to importing products
    from relatively close regions.
    In the European market, for example, large importers from countries such as the Netherlands and Spain switched to imports from countries such as Israel, Slovenia and Morocco, which greatly increased the competitive pressure
    on Peruvian avocado.
     
    The current price of Peruvian avocado exports to the European market is about $1.
    44/kg, a decrease of 26%
    from last year.
    Falling prices have also led many Peruvian exporters to move goods to better-priced markets, such as North America and Asia
    .
     
    About 90 percent of the avocado consumed in the United States comes from Mexico, but a brief suspension in imports in February slowed
    Mexican exports to the United States.
    California normally supplies 10 percent of U.
    S.
    avocados, but water shortages caused by severe drought and heat this year have affected California avocado production
    .
    Although U.
    S.
    households have been affected by inflation and have scaled back non-essential spending on commodities such as avocado, the huge market gap has allowed Peruvian avocado to make a huge breakthrough
    in the U.
    S.
    market.
     
    In terms of export destinations, as of September this year, 29% of Peruvian avocados were sent to the Netherlands, 28% to the United States, and 14% to Spain
    .
    Among them, the total export volume of the Netherlands was 195,000 tons, an increase of 8% year-on-year, and the export value was 285 million US dollars, down 18%
    year-on-year.
    The average price of avocados was $1.
    46/kg, down 24%.

    Total exports to the United States were 146,000 tons, up 46% year-on-year, and exports were $276 million, up 37%
    year-on-year.
    The average price of avocados was $1.
    9/kg, down 6%.

    Total exports to Spain were 0.
    99 million tons, up 14% year-on-year, and exports amounted to $141 million, down 28%
    year-on-year.
    The average price of avocados is 1.
    42 USD/kg, the lowest
    among all export destinations.
     
    Although China is not the main export destination for Peruvian avocado, Peruvian avocado has always accounted for more than
    half of China's total imports.
    As of September this year, China imported about 31,400 tons of avocado, of which 25,600 tons came from Peru.

    The average price of Peruvian avocado exports to China reached 2.
    33 US dollars / kg, exceeding major markets
    such as Europe and the United States.
     
    Avocado is one of Peru's main crops, with exports ranking among the top three
    of all agricultural products.
    At present, about 43,000 hectares are planted nationwide, more than double
    the 18,000 hectares in 2017.
    In terms of growing areas, 34% of avocado cultivation is concentrated in the La Libertad region, 20% in Lambayeque and 15% in Lima
