🥑 **Avocados and Sports: A Global Power-Up!** 🌍 Avocado consumption is taking the world by storm, especially in the USA 🇺🇸, where it’s become a fan favorite during events like the Super Bowl and Cinco de Mayo. But here’s the thing—there’s still room to make this superfood a daily staple across the globe! While it dominates during peak sports events, the opportunity to integrate avocados into the everyday athlete’s diet is just waiting to be seized. Imagine the energy boost an avocado-packed meal could give water polo athletes or young sports enthusiasts training to go pro! 🏊♂️💪 I have been voluntering for the past 20 years as a water polo coach in part time bases and I focus on youth development but the importance of nutrition is key as well. Avocados, loaded with healthy fats and nutrients, can be a game-changer for endurance and recovery in sports. 🌱 So, whether it’s pre-game fuel or a recovery snack after a tough training session, avocados could be the secret weapon not only for athletes but for all of us looking to stay healthy. What do you think? Could avocado exporters tap into the sports world to boost global demand?

🥑 Avocado consumption is at another level in the USA 🇺🇸🔝 However, despite the impressive figures, untapped commercial opportunities might still be found! 👇 While consumption peaks for the Super Bowl game or the 5 de Mayo party, it remains lower at other periods. This could suggest avocados are not yet an everyday product in most American households, That's according to Antonio Lizano, director of business intelligence at AgTools.

This avocado season is unfolding uniquely according to our latest #MarketUpdate!🥑 California has already harvested about 150 million pounds of avocados, putting the industry about a month ahead of its usual schedule due to weather and market conditions. The market has seen heavy supplies from California, which has lessened the impact of the reduced Mexican fruit availability compared to previous seasons. The Loca crop is expected to start in July and is projected to be slightly below average. High temperatures in Mexico may result in a slow start to the new crop and smaller-sized avocados. Peru is expected to have its first major avocado arrivals in the first week of June. However, the crop is 25 to 30% smaller than usual this year. Despite this, a strong but brief season is anticipated, with ample supplies expected through July and into part of August. Colombia is anticipated to have good avocado supplies available until August. #WestPakAvocado #Avocados #IndustryUpdate
