Australian avocado producers are expected to have another bumper crop. This might be good news for consumers, as prices are expected to drop. Harvest of the popular Hass avocado has begun with strong production expected to see the avocado price fall heading into winter, according to Rural Bank's latest data.
According to senior agricultural analyst Michael Curtis, while there will be plenty of supply this year, last year's record low prices are unlikely to be repeated. "Strong production of those avocados is going to lead to fairly low prices," he said. "So consumers should expect to see some low, low priced avocados in supermarkets - not quite as low as what we saw last year."
