DR greenskin avocado · FOB Caribbean · 18s–24s

$32–37 RETURNED · → vs Aug 21

Dominican greenskin is back on all three USDA boards for the first time since mid-August. The Caribbean FOB block reopened on October 6 at $34.00 to $37.00 and settled by Friday at $32.00 to $37.00 on 18s and $32.00 to $36.00 on 20s and 24s, all working $34.00. Miami printed Dominican 20s at $34.00 to $35.00 from October 7, its first line since August 14. New York carried 16s to 24s every day from October 6, with 20s and 24s at $40.00. South Florida FOB holds $34.00 to $36.00 on 16s to 24s. For buyers: Dominican origin now prices level with Florida or just under it, and New York pays $40.00 for Dominican 20s and 24s. Ask for the count mix before you book. The Pollock window closes at the end of October.

USDA AMS · OCT 9 · BACK ON FOB, MIAMI AND NEW YORK

Mexico Hass · FOB Texas · conv 48s–70s

$22.25–24.25 ↓8% · ends 4-week flat run

Mexican Hass at the Texas border came off about $2 this week, its first move in five weeks. Conventional 48s, 60s and 70s print mostly $22.25 to $24.25, down from $24.25 to $26.25. The receiver boards split. Miami 48s fell 10% to $34.00 to $36.00 from Wednesday on. New York held 48s at $28.00 to $32.00 working $30.00 and firmed 60s 10% to $30.00 to $34.00. California did not print for a second week. For buyers: New York 48s now sit about $6 to $8 over Texas FOB, up from about $5. Origin got cheaper and New York has not followed, so push on the origin price for November loads.

USDA AMS · OCT 9 · ORIGIN EASES, NEW YORK HOLDS

DR dry coconut · FOB Caribbean · 40s

$44–48 ↑5% · working $45–47

Dominican dry coconut FOB firmed to $44.00 to $48.00 on 40s, working $45.00 to $47.00, up from a flat $44.00. The imports-through-Miami FOB block, which does not name an origin, rose to $38.00 to $42.00 working $40.00 from $35.00 to $38.00. Miami terminal held Dominican 40s at $40.00 to $42.00 and New York held $52.00. India dry was absent from New York again. For buyers: Dominican fruit still costs $5 to $7 more than the generic Miami block at FOB, and both rose together. Terminal prices did not move, so the increase sits at origin and receivers have not passed it on.

USDA AMS · OCT 9 · ORIGIN FIRMS, TERMINALS FLAT

Brazil Tommy Atkins mango · NY Terminal · 12s

$8–10 ⭐ ↓40% · Friday print only

Brazilian Tommy Atkins 12s printed $8.00 to $10.00 on New York on Friday, October 9, down from $14.00 to $16.00. Monday to Thursday the count held $14.00 to $16.00, so treat it as a single Friday print rather than a weekly trend. 10s also printed $12.00 on Friday only, and AMS tagged Brazil Tommy Atkins Slightly Lower from Thursday. Larger counts barely moved: 6s to 8s at $15.00 to $16.00. Import mango FOB Philadelphia 10s fell 11% to a working $10.00 to $11.00. Dominican mango has not printed on any USDA board for 11 weeks while the US lane stays suspended. For buyers: wait for Monday's board to confirm the Friday cut before you reprice small-count programmes.

German port strikes averted after ver.di accepts a wage offer

ver.di's federal bargaining commission accepted the port employers' offer on October 6, the German trade union confederation DGB reported. The deal runs 12 months, with a 3.4% hourly rise backdated to August 2026. The threat of indefinite strikes at Hamburg, Bremen, Bremerhaven, Emden, Brake and Wilhelmshaven is off for now. Employer-side approval was still pending at publication. For buyers: any contingency routing you planned for October arrivals into German ports can likely be stood down. Wait for the employer vote before you release it fully.

Colombia expects avocado exports down 30% and Peru warns of a harsher El Niño

At the Avocado Congress in Madrid on October 7, Corpohass said Colombian avocado exports should fall about 30% in 2026, with about 90,000 tonnes shipped so far and 140,000 tonnes projected by year-end. ProHass said the coming El Niño could be more severe than the 2023 event, which cut Peruvian volume 10% in 2024. It does not expect a reliable estimate before March or April. Peru supplies about 42% of Europe's avocados over a year. For buyers: two large winter origins cannot size their crops yet. If you rely on them, line up a second winter origin now rather than in February.

Fairtrade raises banana minimum prices 5.6% from January 2027

Fairtrade International will raise banana minimum prices by 5.6% ex-works and 3.9% FOB from January 1, 2027, FreshPlaza reported on October 6. The Fairtrade Premium stays at US$1 a box. The review covered 47 minimum prices across nine origins and two clusters, and origin-level figures were not published. For buyers: the floor for 2027 Fairtrade contracts is now set, so expect the negotiation to move to freight and packaging terms.

Methodology

How this dashboard is built

FOB prices: captured on Sundays directly from the USDA AMS reports published the prior Friday (National FOB Review, Miami Terminal, NY Terminal). The "USDA direction" column reproduces the market tone label verbatim. "WoW" is the percentage change on the midpoint of the range versus the prior week. Moves of 10% or more are flagged with a star (material). For sizes labeled "OFFERINGS LIGHT" or "VERY LIGHT", the threshold widens to 20% (thin markets swing large percentages on small absolute moves).

News: selected from a weekly monitor of public sources (USDA AMS, Acento, DR1, FreshFruitPortal, CBI, TradingEconomics, Perfect Daily Grind, Confectionery News, ProDominicana, RASFF). Only stories with a verifiable quantitative data point and direct relevance to buyers sourcing Dominican produce are included.

Trade volumes: consolidated monthly using TradeMap (ITC) as the primary source and ProDominicana reports as secondary. Published with a 30 to 60 day lag after month close.

Sourcing the products above: every category tracked here has a sourcing page with varieties, season windows, pack formats and certifications. Browse DR produce by product, or read the weekly buyer intel for the longer analysis behind these numbers.
