Colombia’s Avocado Market: A Success Story in Growth
Explosive Export Growth
Between 2020 and 2024, Colombian Hass avocado exports reached $956.8 million, growing at a tremendous 47.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). In 2024 alone, shipments totaled $309.4 million.
Surging Volume and Diverse Markets
Volume exports grew to 482,055 net tons over this period—an impressive 41.1% CAGR. European buyers remain dominant, but recent growth in U.S. and Asian markets signals diversification.
U.S. Expansion
In 2024, Colombia exported an estimated 80 million pounds of Hass avocados to the U.S.—a 166% increase over the prior year. The industry targets 130 million pounds during the 2025 “traviesa” spring–summer season.
Industry Maturation & Production Scale
From a modest beginning, Colombia now boasts over 1 million tons of annual avocado production (all varieties), ranking among the top three producers globally.
Meanwhile, the cultivated area has surged—from around 1,000 hectares in 2004 to over 55,000 hectares as of 2024—revealing an immense untapped potential of 3.2 million hectares suitable for Hass production.
Transformative Regional Impact
Hass avocados are now Colombia’s third-largest fruit export, contributing over USD 200 million to national GDP. Regions like Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, and Risaralda have seen export increases between 37% and 42% year-over-year.
