Smashed Avo on toast is being taken off menus around Brisbane as seasonal price surges of Avocado’s hits Cafe owners hard.
On Tuesday this week, Coles and Woolworths were both selling avocados for upwards of $3.50 each, with some wholesale suppliers charging as much as $100 for a tray of staple cafe breakfast rotation.
Avocado Australia chief executive John Tyas said most current supplies were from New Zealand, where weather events coupled with the busy Christmas period had affected supply.
