While Mexican avocado production for the 2026/27 started last summer, significant exports to the U.S. has just started. Volume is expected to be similar to last season.
Mexican growing operation Coliman Avocaods reports Mexico becomes the primary avocado supplier to the U.S. with strong volumes available.
Mexico becomes the largest avocado supplier to the U.S. market in September and forward. Colombia will also continue shipping fruit to the U.S., although a greater share of its production is expected to be directed toward Europe.
Coliman Avocaods notes proximity to the U.S., with consistent supply and quality aare key advantages.
Logistics also support the Mexican position because fruit can reach the U.S. border within 24 hours, while virtually any city in the country can be reached within four days.
Year-round availability further strengthens Mexico’s position. Mexican avocados are available 52 weeks a year, even though some retailers turn to other origins during the summer. Consistent availability and quality remain important to importers, distributors and retailers looking to maintain supply throughout the year.
Coliman Avocaods exports primarily to the U.S., with , Canada is its second-largest market by volume. The company also exports to Japan and the Middle East.
