With an expected harvest of approximately 1.3 million tonnes, the Mexican avocado should just about equal last season’s mark, and remain by far the world leader. This status quo, a consequence of difficult weather conditions in Michoacán State, does not reflect the growth of the Mexican cultivation area, which continued to expand at a frenetic rate last season: just over 17 000 ha were planted, taking the country’s surface areas of “green gold” to 168 000 ha. Michoacán, the flagship state for this crop, where three-quarters of the surface areas are packed in, saw its cultivation area grow by just under 10 000 ha. There was also a major increase in Jalisco, the neighbouring state which could soon obtain approval to export to the United States. The cultivation area amounts to 13 400 ha, up 2 400 ha from last season.
