U.S.-based avocado suppliers say they are expecting strong and stable volumes over the next couple of months, with an increase in the run-up to the Super Bowl.
Donny Lucy, Vice President of Sales at Del Rey Avocado Company, told FreshFruitPortal.com that supplies have been steady over recent weeks, hitting around 50 million pounds per week into the U.S. market.
He said that for now this pace is likely to continue with a balance size profile, but volumes will likely pick up in the new year. We expect a weekly increase in volume to match the demand for the Super Bowl, and obviously we are not sure what that will look like given the current situation, but we are anticipating higher demand and higher volume certainly from the middle to the end of January, he said.
