Mexico, the largest exporter of avocados, has been increasing its shipments to the world market. Despite this, there is a shortage of supply due to the rapid growth in demand, which is reflected in price increases and growing investment in expanding avocado production.

The Fuerte Avocado is a medium to large fruit with an elongated pyriform (pear) shape ranging from around five to sixteen ounces. Its skin is smooth, easy to peel & its flesh is thick, yellow & 18% oil. Its flavor is rich & creamy with notes of hazelnut & a lemony, grassy finish.

Research has shown that fungicides containing potassium phosphonate can help avocado trees become more resilient to avocado root rot. Fungicides should be used in combination with proper soil conditions, irrigation and fertilizing practices to treat this condition.

Avocado is unique in the way it ripens. It matures on the tree but does not ripen until it’s picked so some experience is required to determine when an avocado is sufficiently mature for harvesting.

Avocado trees greatly benefit from mulches. Any organic material can be used, including the fallen leaf litter from the avocado tree. It is best not to rake the fallen leaves. They provide free mulch for the avocado roots which are fairly close to the surface.

Flowers, first: Avocado trees can produce a million flowers or more—most drop off, but the abundance attracts pollinators. The flowers are complete, meaning they have male and female parts.

Hass Avocado is now becoming a flourish business for most farmers who had lost hope in farming. Hass avocado is now becoming an income generating activity. Farmers who use to plant other crops have now opted for this type of farming because of its advantages.
