“So far the current season is the same as last season, but there will be more avocado in the second part of the season. It is expected that in July and especially in August and September there will be more avocado than last season,” he said.
Cillóniz said that the first part of the 2022 avocado season has been characterized by low prices received for the fruit in its main market -Europe – and high prices in the United States.

He added that prices in Europe are so bad that many Peruvian producers are leaving the fruit on the tree, waiting for prices to improve.
