Avocados sold for $1 each in supermarkets after farmers upped production for this season.
Although this is welcomed news for consumers, growers are at a disadvantage. Chief Executive of Avocados Australia John Tyas said demand for avocados has not matched up with the sheer volume of product available this year, leaving growers doing it tough with the marginal prices.
However, these low prices increased the number of avocados being exported offshore, so it isn’t all bad news for the industry as a whole.
