The government has decided to support an aid programme for planting Hass avocado. The main objective is to replace the 10 000 to 11 000 t of annual imports (largely from Mexico) with local produce. Plantations of this variety, estimated at approximately 800 ha and situated mainly in the high-altitude zones in the south-west of the country, will need to expand to 4 000 ha by 2022. The project is supported by international cooperation, especially Taiwanese, in terms of plant production.
