Carlos Paredes Rosales, president of ProHass (Peruvian Avocado Association), said that exports in 2023 are expected to be around twice as high as in 2018, when Peru exported 338,549 tonnes. More importantly, the 2023 season will be smoother, avoiding supply peaks concentrated in a few weeks. 624,000 tonnes of Hass avocado will be exported from Peru in the 2023 season, up 12.5% compared to 554,498 tonnes in the 2022 season.
In the fifth week of the year, Peruvian 2023 avocado exports reached a cumulative total of 7,149 tonnes, 11% higher than the same period last year. Of these, 2,093 tonnes were exported in week 5, 47% higher than the same period last year. The main export destination so far has been the Netherlands, followed by China and Russia.
As of 2022, avocado cultivation in Peru is at 60,091 hectares. Peruvian avocado production is expected to continue to increase in the coming years, as many trees have not yet reached fruit production.
