State of the avocado market in Australia.

"Australia: Lowest prices in 5 years
The sector has just made the switch from the Shepard to the Hass avocado season. The Western States will follow in the coming weeks. According to the trade association, consumption has grown to 3.5 kilos per capita per year. Growers want the market to grow even further, with better quality and new sales areas. According to a trader, a lot of high quality fruit will hit the market in the coming months. Some regions have plenty of large sizes available. Due to the large supply of the fruit, prices are under pressure. According to a grower, they have not been this low in five years. Having gained access to Japan is a welcome step. The Australian Hass will now also be shipped to this country. If production continues to grow at the same rate, more markets will be needed in the future"
