    I can do with out this expensive fruit. 60% on sale in Spanish supermarkets are either stone hard or showing signs of decay when cut. What a waste of Natural Jungle, Farming, Transport and Selling. I saw a similar situation described on Jungle clearance in South America to introduce a new sort of cash crop “ hearts of Palms “ which apparently are becoming popular in USA. From memory these Palm Hearts are a main ingredient in a Waldorf Salad.

    and dont forget the drug lords have moved into this industry, Avocados industry is doing as much damage to the environment as mining in Brazil and Beef in Venezuela

    What about the water drought caused by it. Middle Eastern and European invest a lot in this they use all the water which eventually kill other Farmers crop . And force them to work as labour in the avagado farm. It's not cool. Not cool at all. Mexico need some act to protect their farmers
