Which is a nice surprise! Despite being hit by the tremendous “Thomas fire”, the biggest in recent history in California, the avocado harvest registered a very good level. With an expected 170 000 tonnes, this is up by more than 70 000 tonnes on 2016-17, and is 25 % above average. The highly pronounced alternate bearing effect has been able to easily offset losses, estimated at approximately 5 % of the total harvest.
