Peruvian Avocado

Peruvian Hass avocados will export 515,000 tons this season, up 6.6 percent from the previous season's 483,000 tons, according to Peru's Agraria. Juan Carlos Paredes Rosales, president of the Peruvian Hass Avocado Producers Association (ProHass), stressed that this year's season is between January and October (last year it was between January and September), and that harvesting for mountain supplies starts in October or November , so Peru can produce avocados all year round.

Avocados are native to tropical America, and are cultivated in small amounts in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian, Yunnan and Sichuan in China. Avocado fruit is a fruit with high nutritional value, containing a variety of vitamins, rich fat and protein, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and so on.
