Green gold !!!

#GlobalExports of #avocado rose by an estimated 11% in 2021, to approximately 2.5 million #tonnes, on account of strong #supplies from #Mexico and #Peru, the two leading #exporting#countries. Ample #GlobalDemand and lucrative export #prices for avocados continued to be #CriticalDrivers of growth, stimulating #SubstantialInvestments in area #expansion in both countries.

In #GlobalTrade, Mexico, where avocados #originate, accounts for 60% of total #ExportQuantities, due to its ability to produce the #fruit in all #seasons and its focus on the higher quality #Hass#variety.
