Markon Cooperative BB #:123315 released this avocado crop update June 10, 2024:
Mexico’s normal-style avocado supplies are tightening as the season is rapidly winding down, while the loca-style crop is not expected to meet maturity standards until mid-July. California and Peruvian stocks will be shipped to help fill the void but will not meet U.S. avocado demand.
Mexico
- Expect limited supplies of the current normal-style crop as the season ends
- New loca-style avocados will not meet maturity standards until mid-July
- Size and grade substitutions may be requested to fill orders
- Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening within a case) has been reported
- Expect elevated markets and tight supplies through July
California/Peru
- Supplies will ship through the month of August, when these crops start their seasonal declines
- Size is currently dominated by 48- and 60-count No. 1 grade fruit
- Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening) has been reported
- Expect elevated markets and tight supplies through August as California helps fill the void from Mexico
