About Pete Nisbet

Content: A drought in California last year resulted in a severe shortage of supply from this region. This has led to a general increase in prices from this source. Production will be down again this year. Mexico: This country is the major avocado supplier to the USA, providing over 80% of the avocados consumed. A strike by Mexican avocado growers added to this shortage, and the shortfall in supply against demand has persisted into 2017. Peru: Most of Peru’s avocado farms are situated in Southern Peru This area suffered severe flooding last year, and many of the country’s avocado farms were badly affected. Not only did this result in a significant reduction in production, but also in forecasts for this year’s crop to be downgraded. Not just that, but avocado consumption rose in the U.S. from around 3.5 pound weight per person in 2006 to 6.9 lb in 2015.
