A recent report indicates that Peruvian avocado plantings are expected to slow down in the next five years due to a combination of factors including profitability issues and competition from other crops. Despite these challenges, the overall productivity outlook remains positive, suggesting opportunities for improved cultivation practices.
The Hass Avocado Board, in collaboration with Cirad, has released a mid-term forecast regarding the avocado production landscape in major supplying countries to the United States. This initiative, initiated in 2019, aims to assist stakeholders in the avocado industry including growers and investors in strategizing their marketing efforts based on anticipated trends.
The report indicates that while Peru has seen a decline in new avocado plantings due to various challenges, there remains a positive outlook on new cultivations in the long term. The industry must adapt through enhanced agricultural practices and the cultivation of more resilient rootstocks to combat prevailing issues such as climate change and competition from other crops.
