The Hass avocado harvest is underway in the area of La Axarquia and so far it is looking very promising. Previously, during the months of October and November, pollinating varieties were harvested and sold at almost twice the price of the previous season 2016-17, as the total volume commercialised has decreased.
Salsa Agricola, owned by Grupo Sociedad Azucarera Larios, expects a stronger harvest for the Hass variety, similar to the previous season, with average yields of more than 10,000 kgs/ha. As a result, the season will last until May 2018.
Growing demand from international markets continues to bring stability to a very attractive level of prices for growers.
