Avocados are in short supply lately in Australia, especially Western Australia, mainly due to weather problems. A bloodless outbreak, then a few storms made matters worse.
“The demand for lawyers is high,” said Jennie Franceschi of Karri Country Produce. “Before it was complicated when everything was closed, but now it is more common to return to the general situation. “
New Zealand has already exported avocados to Australia, however it will be attractive to see if Chile exports this season as there is now access.
“It will have to be a smart harvest in Chile for lawyers to send to Australia. With such high value as Australian avocados, I’m sure consumers would buy Chilean fruit. Although Australian consumers prefer Australian fruit, I don’t think they do. oppose South American production because they have smart food protection criteria and smart results. Although I believe that as a country we are provincial, we still need smart values and smart availability, so since we are in a shortage, the most value season and Chile now has access, if they can succeed over COVID restrictions on freight transport, then I would not be surprised to see them in Australia this season.
“There will be years in which we will have climatic problems, but it is the same for all countries. Australians are planting a lot of avocados and volumes are expected to double, so the value of the local fruit will decline. “
Jennie goes on to say that at this time exporting is not easy: “There are very few planes flying right now, so it’s complicated and expensive to get space in one. for them it’s an attractive time and it’s hard to say what’s going to happen because everything changes. so fast. “
