Peru estimates that 460,000 metric tons (MT) of Hass avocados will be exported in the 2021 season, an increase in exports of almost 30 percent year-on-year.
This increase will represent an additional 100,000MT compared to the previous season.
This year new strategies have been used, including opening markets while consolidating existing ones and working closely with SENASA to make sure only mature fruit is exported.
Among the strategies stated above, a spokesman added that the organization “continues to support the World Avocado Organization (WAO) and the Peruvian Avocado Commission in the U.S. (PAC) in order to strengthen promotion and marketing campaigns of Peruvian origin and avocados in general”.
