The market continues to
stabilize . Growers have reacted to the low prices on small fruit and have
started size picking in the field; this should even out the size curve as well
as the prices on small fruit.
Good supplies of 40s and
smaller continue to arrive from Mexico. 32/36ct remain limited as they
currently make up a small percentage of the harvest.
Ripe programs are on track,
and consumers are finding ripe avocados on the shelves so this should spur
movement. There are strong Mexican avocado promotions ramping up which
should also strengthen the avocado demand.
Expect stabilizing markets
and good supplies through the remainder of the November and December. We
anticipate a short gap in supply in mid-January, following no-harvest Christmas
holidays. Calavo will prepare to the best of our ability for this
foreseen gap.
