Mission Produce Encourages Retailers to Go Big with Jumbo Avocado and Mango Supply

Mission Produce, Inc., a world leader in sourcing, producing and distributing fresh Hass avocados, today announced it will showcase its promotable supply of jumbo avocados and mangos at the New England Produce Council (NEPC) Expo in Boston, Mass., Aug. 18-19, 2025, at booth #117.

“Our strong supply of jumbo avocados and mangos provides a timely opportunity for retailers to leverage larger sizes to drive incremental sales and attract high-value shoppers,” said Galen Johnson, Senior Director of Sales. “Size is not only a key indicator of quality to avocado and mango shoppers,1,2 it’s a profit driver—whether through bulk or bagged programs.3,4 NEPC is the perfect venue to connect with our partners and explore how to maximize this moment.”

Mission’s vertically integrated farms in Peru are producing strong volumes of jumbo avocados this season. Additionally, Mexico’s upcoming avocado size curve is leaning heavy on 48s and larger,1 and nearly half of Mexico’s Kent mango crop consists of sizes 6 and larger.2

Jumbo avocados (sizes 36, 32 and 28) yield more than twice the edible volume of smaller sizes (96, 84, 70, 60), delivering clear value for consumers.5,6 Retailers adding jumbo bulk or bagged avocados have historically seen substantial category growth, including dollar lifts up to 29 percent and minimal cannibalization of smaller fruit.3,4

Jumbo mangos (sizes 6 and larger) provide retailers with a premium offering, appealing to more than one-third of mango shoppers who prefer larger mangos.7 Jumbo mangos carry a 73 percent price premium over smaller sizes, representing an opportunity to drive incremental revenue.8
