Chilean Avocado Imports are Expected to be Similar to Last Year


Chilean avocado growers are expected to export similar to volume to that exported during the past two seasons.

The Chilean Avocado Importers Association of San Carlos, CA reports about 65 million pounds of avocados will be exported to the U.S. during the 2019-20 season .

Shipments have started within the past week.

The U.S. is Chile’s second-largest export market for avocados following Europe. Peak volume will come later this month and continue into early 2020.

These will include programs with partners like Pandora, Mind Body Green, Tasty and Hulu.
