Ukrainian Agribusiness Club (UCAB) Analyst Svitlana Lytvyn believes that the main reason for the growth in demand for avocado is the trend of healthy eating, Ukrinform reports with reference to the UCAB press service.
In 2020, Ukraine imported 10.8 thousand tonnes of avocados, which is 28% more than in 2019.
The key suppliers of avocados to Ukraine were Peru (23% of Ukrainian imports in physical terms), Israel (16%), Kenya (15%), South Africa (12%), and Spain (10%).
Over the past five years, the average annual growth rate of avocado imports in Ukraine was 45%. During this period, the import of this product in physical terms increased six times, and in monetary terms – eight times.
