“This year, we’ve seen a large increase, particularly in WA, with acreage maturing there.
“And for the next few years, we’re going to see that increase all across Australia.”
So it’s not just this year that we’re seeing an overwhelming number of avo fruits popping up in the shops. This is gonna be happening for a few years.
Sorry but anyone who tries to tell me I can’t buy a house because I’m buying too much avocado toast can absolutely rack off.
“With the decline in price, we’ve seen that Australian consumers have responded to those prices and have increased their consumption,” Piggott said.
It’s simple supply and demand economics, people. And thank God it’s happening during Hass season — there would be nothing worse than a hectic oversupply of Shepard avocados. You could not pay me enough to take home a bag of Sheps.
So there you go friends, if ever you’ve needed an excuse to eat avocado en masse, this is it.
