Commercial overview
Peru is the world's #2 avocado exporter. Hass dominates because dry matter content is guaranteed above 21.5% at harvest - the threshold that supports maritime transit resilience and consistent ripening in European retail. Coastal valleys in La Libertad, Ica, and Moquegua provide continuity from January through September, covering the main Northern Hemisphere gap. Standard export grading runs from sizes 12 through 24 with GlobalGAP and SMETA compliance.
