September 25, 2024 California Avocado Commission

The optimistic outlook for the 2025 California avocado crop is due in part to significant grower investment into new plantings over the last decade, which are now coming into prime production.

California Avocado Season On Approach

The California Avocado Commission (CAC) announced a significantly larger crop forecast for their fiscal year (November 2019 through October 2020) compared to the prior year: 369 million pounds. This volume likely will mean a longer California avocado season and expanded distribution compared to 2019.
