In this update, you will read about the latest developments and challenges in the organic avocado market. With a focus on the situation in Peru, Kenya, Tanzania and Mexico.
Peru's last production zones for this season, Olmos and South, experienced significantly lower production, up to 30% less volume. This has resulted in a decrease in the number of containers of organic avocados entering Europe. We expect the avocado harvest in Peru to be complete by the end of August. This is three weeks earlier than last year.
In terms of sizing, we will see a shift towards larger sizes 16-22 and a reduction in the smaller sizes 24-30. This is common for the Peru region, the longer the avocados stay on the tree and the bigger they get.
Tanzania has closed the harvest due to quality problems and long transit times. Supplies from Kenya are still in full swing, with high-quality avocados due to higher dry matter content, resulting in stronger fruit.
Our Kenyan suppliers expect to continue delivering until week 37. Possibly with some run-out with lower volume. In terms of sizing, we expect a wide range of sizes.
Despite the fact that Mexican growers export organic avocados mainly to the USA, from the long-standing relationship with our growers in Mexico, we have been able to reserve a number of containers of organic avocados for the European market.
The first container from Mexico is expected in week 37. Delivery is possible until week 52.

The new season for organic Hicaz pomegranates from Turkey has got off to a promising start. Following last year’s limited harvest, expectations among our two regular producers, Göknur and Başak Tarım, are clearly more positive. Our Product Manager, Joep van Koevorden, recently visited both growers to assess the new harvest and discuss the prospects for the coming season.
From a vast organic orchard in Kozan to family land with centuries of history in Söke: behind our Turkish pomegranates lie two very different stories. Discover how Göknur and Başak Tarım each go about growing organic Hicaz pomegranates in their own way.
From warming teas and golden milk to fresh shots, smoothies and curries: ginger and turmeric are versatile ingredients that are perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
