Mexico Sending 110,000 Tons of Avocadoes to U.S. for Super Bowl But It’s Still Lower than the Previous Two Years.
Super Bowl LIX is scheduled for February 9th, 2025, pitting the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles. There are many NFL fans in Mexico and many Mexicans can be expected to watch it.
In recent decades it has become a tradition in the United States to eat guacamole at Super Bowl watch parties. The principal ingredient of guacamole is the avocado. Most avocadoes consumed in the United States are imported from Mexico.
This year it’s estimated that Mexican producers are sending 110,000 tons of avocadoes to the United States for the Super Bowl.
That’s a lot, but it’s actually a decrease from the past two years. In 2023 the quantity was 130,000 tons, and in 2024 it was 137,500 tons.
Why the decrease? Two reasons given are 1) drought and 2) security in the Mexican state of Michoacan, the main source of avocadoes, which has four avocado seasons.
Avocado prices have also gone up, from an average price of 2.41 dollars per kilo in 2024 to 2.88 dollars per kilo in 2025.
