China’s avocado market is experiencing slower demand following the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, while limited Chilean arrivals are supporting wholesale prices.

Chilean avocados are trading at approximately ¥130 (US$18.20) per 4 kg carton. Peruvian fruit is priced at ¥105–110 (US$14.70–15.40) per box, while Chinese avocados of comparable quality are offered at similar levels.

Chilean shipments remain limited at the start of the export season, while Peru is approaching the end of its campaign. Domestic Chinese avocados are competing with imports on price and quality.

Buyers are prioritizing fruit maturity, appearance, and post-harvest performance, with slower movement reported for standard-grade fruit.

The wider imported fruit market is also experiencing reduced demand. Increased supplies of Yunnan blueberries have resulted in some lots selling below procurement costs, while Peruvian blueberries and imported durians face similar quality-related purchasing constraints.

Market participants expect selective buying to continue in the short term. Increased Chilean arrivals could put pressure on prices, while competition from domestic avocados is expected to keep attention on fruit quality, cold-chain management, and supply consistency.
