Colombia's Hass avocado exports surpassed 100,000 tonnes in 2026, while 460 production sites covering more than 11,200 hectares have been authorised to export to the United States, according to the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA).

The figures were presented during Territorio Aguacate, an industry event held in Medellín on November 5.

Support for avocado growers

ICA is working with the Colombian Hass Avocado Producers and Exporters Corporation (Corpohass) to improve pest monitoring and technical support for growers.

The programme covers 674 production areas representing approximately 15,000 hectares. It benefits more than 10,000 growers, including over 8,100 small producers.

Antioquia accounts for 476 of the areas covered by the programme.

The initiative has a budget of COP 2.45 billion (around $758.000), with contributions from ICA, Corpohass and Asohofrucol.
