In California, the prices of Mexican avocados are decreasing. There's no shortage of Mexican avocados this season either; there's a surplus, leading to much lower prices.
Avocado shack owner Michael Wolfe says that last year he paid about $50 per case for Mexican avocados. This year, he is only paying $30 per case. However, while the price of Mexican avocados is dropping, the price of California avocados remains high. It's not just customers feeling the impact of fewer California avocados. Restaurant owners are struggling as well, leading to menu price increases.
Wolfe explained that, as of right now, the farthest north you can grow avocados in California is San Simeon and the farthest south is San Diego. As temperatures continue to increase, the agricultural landscape could change, meaning avocados could be grown farther north. However, it also means losing acreage farther south.
