Historic Forecast for Avocado Imports

Avocados From Mexico® has made a bold projection for the upcoming 2025-2026 season, anticipating a staggering 2.5 billion pounds of avocado imports into the United States. This forecast not only highlights Mexico's unparalleled ability to meet rising demand but also reinforces its position as the leading supplier of high-quality avocados worldwide.

Meeting Peak Demand

The significance of this forecast cannot be overstated, especially as 280 million pounds are expected to be available for the Big Game alone, marking a new record for avocado consumption during this high-traffic period. With ongoing investment in sustainable practices and a robust supply chain, Mexico is in a prime position to deliver avocados that meet U.S. consumer standards for both quality and quantity.

Alvaro Luque, the President and CEO of Avocados From Mexico, stated, "This projection signifies more than just volume; it represents confidence—confidence that we can reliably supply avocados of consistent quality, appropriate sizes, and robust promotional support during critical consumption moments."

Reliable Supply and Quality

The Mexican avocado industry has cultivated a reputation for delivering high-quality fruit. Thanks to the unique climatic conditions, lush soils, and decades of agricultural expertise, Mexico is uniquely positioned to meet the U.S. demand all year round. Favorable weather patterns and ongoing investments are expected to yield excellent fruit quality and desirable sizes for the upcoming season.

Tailored Promotional Support

To assist U.S. retailers in capitalizing on this high demand, Avocados From Mexico is preparing targeted promotional campaigns tailored to key moments such as the Big Game, Cinco de Mayo, and the summer barbecue season. The organization emphasizes its role as a strategic partner that goes beyond merely supplying fruit. Stephanie Bazan, Senior VP of Commercial Strategy and Execution, remarked, "We are committed to transforming demand into actionable results on the retail shelf."

A Thriving Industry

The Mexican avocado supply chain is a massive network consisting of over 200 importers, 91 packers, and approximately 35,000 growers. Many farms are family-owned and operated, reinforcing traditions that have flourished for generations. This thriving industry not only nourishes U.S. consumers but also supports over 42,000 U.S. jobs and contributed approximately $7.5 billion to the U.S. economy in 2024.

As the U.S. market’s top avocado supplier, Avocados From Mexico is dedicated to ensuring availability, reliability, and comprehensive support for its partners year-round. This growing demand for avocados is not expected to diminish anytime soon, underscoring the importance of well-coordinated supply chains and marketing strategies.
