In 2022, global avocado production reached approximately 7.3 million tons, 2.7 times higher than in 2000, when it was 2.8 million tons. The main exporting countries are Mexico, the Netherlands, Chile, Indonesia, Peru, and the United States of America; together contributing more than 60% of world production. Mexican avocado production ranked first, with 2.4 million tons, of which 1.3 million tons were destined for export in 2022, representing 55% of production and more than 32% of global exports. The total value of Mexican avocado exports in 2022 reached 2.098 billion dollars. The most important markets in the same year were the United States (2.039 billion), Canada (208 million), Japan (142 million), Spain (83 million), and Honduras (36 million). Our principal aim was to analyze the competitiveness of Mexican avocados in the global market from 2000 to 2022, for which some indicators that measure the competitiveness of agricultural products were calculated, such as the Relative Export Advantage Index proposed by Vollrath (+21.08), the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage Indicator (+0.91), the Lafay Indicator (1.82), the Export Coefficient (+43.0), the Export Specialization Coefficient (+4.57), and the Trade Dependence Indicator (0). Results demonstrate the existence of a comparative advantage, which reveals Mexico’s position as a net exporter, showing zero trade dependence on this product.
