Abstract: The very youthful Portuguese industry currently occupies only a very modest place on the world avocado market (hitherto exporting less than 10 000 t). The cultivation area, estimated at between 2 600 ha and 2 800 ha in early 2023, is concentrated in Algarve and to a lesser degree in Alentejo, regions with a Mediterranean climate though nonetheless favourable for this tropical crop. The industry, which has a good technical level, is built on a hybrid model of small to medium plantations and a few facilities extending over hundreds of hectares, all meeting the high social and environmental standards in force in the European Community. Despite a recent slowdown in the planting rate, the exportable potential should make very quick progress, nearing 40 000 t by 2030.
