Subtrop warns against sales of immature avocados
The South African Subtropical Growers Association (Subtrop) has cautioned that avocados will be scarce from January to mid-February before the new season commences.
Despite the near year-round availability of South African avocados, thanks to new plantings in high-altitude areas of Limpopo, KZN, and the Western Cape, a two to three-week shortage is still expected.
