The German organic online magazine bio-markt.info searched for an answer to the question: are organic avocados are any better than conventional avocados. There are several issues concerning the production of avocados, such as the monocultures, the high water demand and the large shipping distances to the consumers.
The demand for avocados has increased significantly over the last few years. In 2010, 28,000 metric tons were shipped to Germany; the number rose to 45,000 metric tons in 2015.
