The United Kingdom is one of Europe's most significant avocado import markets — high-value and price-diverse, spanning discount (Aldi, Lidl) through premium (Waitrose, M&S). The figures below show live Hass avocado supermarket shelf pricing (GBP per 4kg box) across nine major UK retailers and five supply origins, captured August 2026. Actual July 2026 wholesale benchmarks and their sources are included below; real-time import volume by origin remains unavailable for August 2026.

Actual July 2026 UK wholesale avocado prices. UK wholesale avocados are quoted per piece (per fruit) — the native UK wholesale unit — so they are not converted to the per-4kg-box unit used in the retail comparison. Values are actual wholesale quotes from trade-data providers, not estimates.

Compare Hass avocado shelf prices by UK retailer and by supply origin (Peru, Israel, South Africa, Spain, Kenya) — all per 4kg box, August 2026.
Variety & size basis
All UK retail prices shown are Hass, the dominant UK avocado (99%+ of UK volume); Spain-origin lines may also include Bacon, noted where relevant. Unlike the European wholesale table — which prices Hass and Fuerte across explicit calibers (16–22) — UK retail avocado is sold by the piece or pack on shelves, not by caliber, so a single shelf price per origin × retailer applies. Where the typical Hass caliber for an origin is published, it's noted in that origin's description (e.g. Peru grade 18/20, Israel grade 16/18). UK wholesale (July 2026) is quoted per piece regardless of caliber.
