Mexico: Avocado Annual
Mexican Hass avocado production is forecast at 1.9 million metric tons (MMT) or more for marketing year (MY) 2018/2019. Overall production is expected to be good as weather conditions have been optimal thus far. Sources indicate that the implementation of phytosanitary pest-control programs has helped boost production. Michoacán is the world leader in avocado production, and accounts for 80 percent of total Mexican avocado supplies. Exports for MY 2018/19 are forecast to be close to 1 MMT. Exports to the United States are expected to continue to be strong and growing.
