Too early expeditions for avocados in Europe

Avocados exports have faced their rivals from Peru on the European market .

South African producers have shipped earlier than their usual schedule (late April / early May ) avocaods in the European market . At the same time Europe has received several avocados sources including Peru, which resulted an over- abundance of products and lower prices .

SAAGA (South Africa Avocado Growers' Association ) estimates that prices will rebound. Weather conditions in Europe in early spring did not favor the demand that will increase with the arrival of warm weather .

Then , the export peak occurs in South Africa from June to August . At this time , the only re;aining on the market will be from Peru and South Africa which share the same export window (usually from May to September ) .
