Avocado Prices Skyrocket Due To An Avocado Shortage!

Avocados are basically part of our everyday life, but you may have noticed lately that the price for avocados have skyrocketed!

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average price has increased by 80% since this time last year from $1.17 per avocado to $2.10 per avocado!

The problem is that people love eating avocados year round and it's hard to keep up with the demand especially when avocado season is coming to an end and there's only a small crop.

The high prices has to do with the seasonal production in Mexico and it's the lowest at this time of year.

The wholesale price of a 25 pound box of avocados is more than double the price as it was last year making it the highest price this time of year in a decade.

While prices won't be high forever, it will be about a month before you see the prices start coming down once the new Mexican production ramps up.
