New Zealand's avocado growers are remaining upbeat, despite predictions the industry could take a hit
15 August 2022
Growers are being warned to brace for a lower price this season due to over-supply from the US and Australia.
New Zealand Avocado Chief Executive Jen Scoular says there's still potential to increase consumption in New Zealand, but it's the Asian markets they want to develop.
She says Asians are currently eating one avocado per person every year.
She says while New Zealand's outlook is good - there are some reservations and they need to plan carefully.
