Chile: Avocado Annual
Avocado exports have been 42% lower in January-October 2015 compared to 2014 due to a lower production output from Chile caused by droughts and a reduction in production area. While Netherlands is the top market for Chilean avocado exports, trade decreased by 17%, and its second largest market, the U.S. decreased on 84%, mainly because exports were allocated in higher prices markets in European countries like UK and Spain which have increased their Avocado Imports from Chile by 76% and 32% respectively in MY2015 (January-October).
