Mexico is the World Leader in Hass Avocado Production

  • Avocados originated in Mexico, so growers have had centuries to perfect the techniques that deliver great-tasting avocados

  • Mexico produces about half of the world's Hass avocados

  • 90% of Mexican avocados are produced in central Mexico, in the state of Michoacán (northwest of Mexico City); this area is considered to be the "avocado region of the world" and avocados from this region to be the finest

Why are Avocados from Mexico the World's Finest?

Avocados from Mexico the World's Finest
Ideal Growing Conditions

Michoacán's rich volcanic soil, combined with the right amount of sunshine and rain, provide an ideal microclimate for the growing of high-quality Hass avocados.

Only in Mexico do growers have four blooms a year, combined with the natural terroir and short time for avocados to go from grove to market, conditions are ideal for producing the finest avocados in the world.

The warm semitropical climate and varying altitudes in Michoacán's growing region make it possible for avocados from Mexico to be harvested throughout the year in a full range of sizes offering you what you want, when you want it.

Silky Texture and Creamy Taste

Avocados from Mexico can remain on the trees for up to one year and do not begin to ripen until picked.

Multiple blooms allow avocados from Mexico extra time on the tree and enable growers to harvest fruit at ideal maturity resulting in higher oil content and optimum dry matter levels giving these avocados their smooth texture and luscious flavor.

Because of their superior taste and texture, Hass avocados from Mexico are highly regarded by chefs.
