Chilean Avocado: A Market in Transformation 🌱 At the 2024 Global Avocado Summit, Gabriel Alarcon Pizarro, commercial manager at Bagno Chile, shared key insights on the evolution of Chile's avocado industry. With over 30 years of experience, Alarcón highlighted significant milestones, including the rise of the Hass variety, the introduction of ripe avocados, and the development of guacamole presentations. Chile’s avocado industry, which produced 300,000 tons of Hass in 2009-2010, now stands at 200,000 tons, with most of the production going for export. Interestingly, recent years have seen a shift in consumption trends, with Chileans now consuming more imported avocados than local ones. As avocado consumption per capita has increased from 1.3 kg in 1973 to 9 kg today, Chile's dynamic approach to both export and import markets positions it as a major player in the global avocado trade. 🌍🥑 https://lnkd.in/gSnrFrmk #ChileanAvocado #GlobalTrade #AvocadoIndustry #HassAvocado #ExportMarket #Agribusiness #FreshProduce

Cold-Hardy and Flavorful: Mexican Avocado Ecotype 🥑 The Mexican #avocado considered the ancestral race of commercial avocados, holds a fascinating story of genetic richness and agricultural importance. Renowned varieties like 'Hass' and 'Bacon' showcase high genetic similarity, suggesting common ancestry and a shared genetic pool with Mexican avocados. The diversity within the Mexican and Guatemalan avocado subspecies is intricate and varied. As Mexico's most common and abundant type, the Mexican avocado ecotype dominates and offers a spectrum of flavors and quality. Some varieties boast exceptionally rich flavors, while others may have a higher fiber content. Notably, Mexican avocados have an oil content reaching as high as 33%, surpassing other types, and the trees can endure low temperatures without injury. A distinctive trait of the Mexican avocado is its anise-like odor, present in both the plant and its fruits. Despite the tree's resilience and vigorous growth, it's crucial to note that Mexican #rootstocks exhibit the least tolerance to soil salinity. Recognizing these limitations is essential for refining agricultural practices and ensuring #sustainable #cultivation. This delicate balance of strengths and challenges contributes to the enduring legacy of the Mexican avocado in the world of avocados.
