In 2026, avocado producers in Tupã, São Paulo, Brazil, are experiencing an unprecedented harvest, celebrating a significant recovery after a devastating previous year in which many lost up to 95% of their crops due to climate-related issues. Spanning over 50 hectares with 5,000 trees, the current production is expected to reach around 1,100 tons — more than double the average yield of 500 tons in recent years. Furthermore, nearly half of this harvest is set to be exported, indicating both strong local and international demand.

Producers like Jorge Manfré, with three decades of experience, have expressed their astonishment at this year's positive results, a stark contrast to the 2025 season when they faced considerable losses. The improved weather this year, with timely rains, has not only led to increased production but also an earlier start to the harvest season, typically expected to commence in late February. This has provided significant relief and hope for the local farming community.

While the favorable weather has been beneficial, agronomist Idoraldo Dassi Júnior cautions that the abundance of rain necessitates careful management to prevent potential complications, such as excess water affecting soil and plant health. As other local producers report similar increases in production and diversity of avocado types, the expectations for Tupã's agricultural sector remain optimistic, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of local farmers in the face of challenges.
