Starting from Crop seeds, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Mexico fresh horticultural imports →Shortage riskThis is a critical downstream category with 0.88 dependency strength on Mexico fresh horticultural imports, so orchard losses in Mexico should tighten availability.
87% confidenceMexico fresh horticultural imports →Shortage riskMexico accounts for 65% of this supply flow, so a pest-driven orchard hit directly constrains the dominant source pool.
86% confidenceMexico fresh horticultural imports →Shortage riskCalavo's 8% exposure and 3-month replacement lag make it vulnerable to a near-term input shortfall.
Hop 2
Fresh produce staples →Shortage riskField production (planting, irrigation, pest management)
A new orchard pest directly disrupts field production and pest management, and the alert says it can damage up to 60% of production, implying a material output shortfall.
90% confidenceDriscoll's, Inc. →Shortage riskMexico fresh horticultural imports
A pest damaging orchard output can tighten the availability of Mexico-sourced fresh horticultural imports, and Driscoll's has a nontrivial though replaceable dependence on that input.
71% confidenceSysco Corporation →Shortage riskHop 3
Copaltas S.A.S. →Shortage riskCopaltas operates avocado farms in Colombia and Mission Produce owns an approximate 30% interest, so a pest-driven production drop at Copaltas would reduce Mission’s attributable avocado supply.
62% confidenceShanghai Mr. Avocado Limited →Shortage riskMission Produce owns an approximate 28% interest in Shanghai Mr. Avocado, so a pest-driven hit to Shanghai's orchard-linked output can reduce Mission's economic exposure and earnings, though the minority stake limits the pass-through.
