Avocado Production by Country (2026)

Drawing on 2018-2024 FAO data with 2026 projections across 74 producing countries, this avocado production by country study maps the world avocado production landscape. Mexico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic rank among the largest avocado producers as a broad second tier reshapes global supply.

Key Takeaways

  • Mexico led global avocado output in 2024 with 2,761,328 tonnes, maintaining a dominant market share.
  • Colombia remained the second-largest global producer with 1,267,757 tonnes in 2024.
  • Dominican Republic recorded one of the strongest multi-year gains, rising from 634,368 tonnes in 2021 to 1,225,409 tonnes in 2024.
  • Incorporates historical FAO coverage alongside dynamic 2026 market projections.

Mexico Leads a New Million-Tonne Chasing Tier

Mexico produced 2,761,328 tonnes in 2024, down from 2,973,344 tonnes in 2023 but still far ahead of every other country. Its 2026 estimate rises to 3,017,456 tonnes because the model reads 2023-2024 as a high recent base, not as a full reversal; 2024 was still about 318,000 tonnes above the 2021 level. Colombia and Dominican Republic both cleared 1.2 million tonnes in 2024. Peru and Indonesia sat just below the million-tonne line, which makes the second tier broad enough to matter even while Mexico stays first.

Latin America Adds More Than One Growth Engine

Colombia added 288,139 tonnes between 2021 and 2024, and Peru added 142,951 tonnes over the same period. Those gains make the regional supply base broader than Mexico alone. Dominican Republic is the largest recent mover in absolute terms after Mexico, increasing by 591,041 tonnes from 2021 to 2024. The 2026 estimate still eases below the latest reported figure because the jump from 2022 onward is large enough to be moderated.

Africa and Asia Are No Longer Small Side Notes

Kenya produced 585,000 tonnes in 2024, up from 416,803 tonnes in 2021. Because the gain is spread across several recent years, it reads more like a scaled-up production base than a one-season weather bonus. Indonesia reached 919,509 tonnes, almost level with Peru in the latest reported year, after rising from 669,000 tonnes in 2021. That gives Asia a top-five producer in the 2024 ranking, while Brazil, Morocco, and Zimbabwe show that mid-sized growth is also spreading outside the largest exporters.

Water, Orchard Investment, and Reporting Gaps Shape the Risk

Avocados are tied to orchard age, irrigation access, and local growing conditions, so fast expansion does not always translate into a smooth forecast. Australia, Israel, Lebanon, and Türkiye all show large recent moves that call for capped estimates. Türkiye is the clearest example of that conservative treatment. Output jumped from 9,081 tonnes in 2021 to 40,181 tonnes in 2022, slipped to 38,462 tonnes in 2023, then rose to 64,500 tonnes in 2024; because that path falls into the extreme volatility band without a strict three-year climb, the 2026 estimate is held at the recent median of 40,181 tonnes rather than pushed toward the 2024 high. Palestine is kept in the historical series because the source reports avocado production through 2022, but its 2023 and 2024 cells are blank. Its 2026 estimate is therefore based on the last valid country-specific window rather than on a current 2024 ranking.

2026 Forecast Methodology: The avocado estimates are recalculated from the FAO country series, with the latest reported year kept separate from the forecast. A full recent window uses 2024 at 50%, 2023 at 30%, and 2022 at 20%, followed by a capped adjustment from the 2021-2024 trend. Countries with sharp orchard-year swings are restrained with tighter growth bands or a recent median, and rows missing 2024 are projected from their own latest valid year.

2026 Estimates Keep Mexico First and Lift the Chasing Group

The 2026 estimates keep Mexico first at 3,017,456 tonnes. Colombia is estimated at 1,323,310 tonnes, while Dominican Republic remains close behind at 1,196,853 tonnes. Indonesia moves slightly ahead of Peru in the forecast, at 1,005,811 tonnes versus 986,152 tonnes. Kenya stays sixth at 629,587 tonnes, keeping Africa visible in the upper part of the avocado outlook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Mexico still pulling away from the rest of the avocado market?

A: Mexico remains the largest avocado producer, with 2,761,328 tonnes in 2024 and a 2026 estimate of 3,017,456 tonnes. The gap is smaller than a simple headline suggests, though, because Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Indonesia each reported more than 900,000 tonnes in 2024.

Q: Why do Colombia and the Dominican Republic stand out in the 2026 outlook?

A: Both countries moved far above their 2021 levels. Colombia rose from 979,618 tonnes in 2021 to 1,267,757 tonnes in 2024, while the Dominican Republic climbed from 634,368 tonnes to 1,225,409 tonnes over the same period.
