This Is Why Avocado Prices
Are Skyrocketing New figures show that the price for
mid-sized versions of the fruit is
up nearly 130% from this time
in 2018. Rabobank senior analyst
David Magaña says that in 2019,
a 25-pound box cost $84.25. Last year, it was just $37
for the same amount
around July 4. Magaña lists a couple reasons for
the price hike, one of which is
increased demand worldwide. David Magaña, via

the price hikes should not
last very long. David Magaña, via
