Price of Avocados in US: Market Forces Shaping 2025 Trends
Your favorite “alligator pears” won’t cost the same today as they did in the last shopping bout due to certain market factors. As illustrated below, imports, size and variety metrics are perpetually determining the price of avocados in US.
Avocado Imports into US
The United States imports avocados exclusively from Mexico. Around 80% of all Mexican avocado exports reach the US and in turn constitute 90% of all avocados in the American market. In the 2023-2024 season, for instance, total imports from Mexico hit 2.7 billion pounds ,worth $2.7 billion.
Whenever a temporary suspension of imports from Mexico occurs, prices surge across the border. Suspension even for a week can affect prices long afterward. For example in February 2025, long after a June 2024 suspension, imported guacamole avocados cost ¢47 more than a year earlier.
How Size Influences Price of Avocados in US
There are seven to nine standard sizes for all avocados in the US market. These include the biggest sizes (24 & 28), medium sizes (32, 36 & 40), and small sizes (48, 60, 70 & 84). Each number refers to the count of fruits that can fit in a single or double-layer 25-pound carton. 70 small avocados that fit in such a carton are the 70s while 28 big avocados are known as 28s.
How do they cost? According to the USDA’s market update of March 19, 2025, large 32s cost the most, from $84.25 to $85.25 per 25-lb carton. The cheapest are the 70s at a price range of $44.25-45.25 per 25-pound carton.
How Variety Affects the Price of Avocados in US
While Reed, Shepard and Wurtz varieties are still popular, the US market is however dominated by Hass and Lamb Hass. Most varieties above grow locally in California and Florida but Hass comes in bulk from Mexico.
The price movement is more or less exclusive to the Hass variety, based on the reigning supply and demand. Retail offers for this variety in March 2025 started at around $0.37 per medium piece. In comparison, a 12-ounce Reed avocado cost up to $6.99 per piece, which makes it expensive.
Retail Price of Avocados in US by “Each”
Highest price: $0.96 each or $2.56 per pound ($5.63 per kg)
Lowest price: $0.37 each or $0.98 per pound ($2.17 per kg)
You will find that unlike other fruits, retail avocados sell by “each” or by a count of 1 to 4 fruits per bag. Based on this criteria, the price of avocados in US can seem quite low or high per piece.
On average, one piece of Hass sells from between $0.59 and $2.23 in retail stores, in March 2025. With each medium avocado weighing around 6 ounces, this implies 2.5 Hass avocados to the pound, at $1.57-5.94 per pound. Organic large-size Reed avocados in their part average $6.99 apiece.
Avocado Grades in Florida
Did you know that the US Department of Agriculture institutes grading for domestic avocados grown in Florida? There are four distinct grades that affect the price of avocados in US from this local source. The higher the grade, the costlier the package. According to Fox News, a single top grade avocado from Florida weighing over 3 pounds cost as high as $47 in 2019!
Florida’s grade categories include:
US No.1: made up of mature but not overripe avocados, this grade has less than 10% bruised fruits.
US combination: the grade combines the first grade and second grade avocados, of which 60% are No.1 and the rest No.2.
US No.2: this category is for fruits that are mature, not overripe, and just as good as those in the first grade. To make the grade, no more than 10% of the fruits should have freeze marks or bruises.
US No.3: to make the cut for this grade, fruits should not be badly misshapen and should be mature yet not too ripe.
