Frost Reported In Chile’s Avocado-Producing Areas
July 21, 2010 | 1 min to read
Santiago, Chile – Since Tuesday, July 13, there have been frost weather conditions in some avocado producing areas in Chile. The Chilean Hass Avocado Association has received recorded temperature information from weather stations in towns that are located in low-lying areas near the growing regions. Luckily, the majority of avocado groves are located on hillsides, which have better conditions compared to the flat land areas.
The Chilean Hass Avocado Association will initiate a program of visits to different groves in all production areas to evaluate the scope of the damage, and in three weeks, we hope to have better figures of final production and exports for the 2010-2011 season.
