Yeah, consumers and growers are silly in their own ways which lead to this.

Consumers want the same fruit all year round even though growing fruit(or any plant/vegetable) is very region & season specific.

Growers are big cargo cultists when they see a particular crop getting attention they all rush in. The past 5 years has seen record planting of avocado crops in Australia that now the growers either rip them out or have to sell the farm.

Just enjoy a delicious tasty snack in the appropriate season, and if it’s not on the shelf when you go to the shop then find another in season delicious tasty snack.

Meh. Boom and bust cycles are common in most agricultural industries. Avocados are no different. In fact the industry in Australia seems to have already rebounded
