Producer country file

Although with a low profile internationally, the Australian Hass avocado industry is the world number six. Its production is registering clear growth, approximately 66 000 t in 2016-17, and is sold nearly entirely locally. The industry has set itself the objective of basing its future growth on an import-substitution policy, thanks to the very wide production calendar of this vast territory, and on developing diversification exports to the high added-value Asian markets.
