    5kg/carton) of avocados, compared with 312,000 boxes in the same period last year
    .
     
    New Zealand avocados are available throughout the year, and the production peaks in New Zealand's summer (December-February)
    .
    July is the New Zealand winter, and domestic avocados are mainly used to supply the local market
    .
    Due to the overproduction of avocados, the retail price of avocados in New Zealand has reached the lowest level in recent years
    .
    You can sell 3 avocados for 4 New Zealand dollars, which is almost equivalent to 6 yuan each

      In recent years, the number of newly planted avocado trees throughout New Zealand has continued to increase, which is also one of the main reasons for the sudden increase in local avocado production
    .
    At present, there are 1,600 avocado growers in New Zealand, with a total planting area of ​​4145 hectares.
    More than 50% of the production comes from the Bay of Plenty in the North Island of New Zealand

    In 2020, New Zealand's avocado production and export volume both hit record highs
    .
    The output of avocado was 44,000 tons, and the export volume reached 5.
    1 million boxes (approximately 28,000 tons), an increase of 10% over 2019
    .
     
      At present, the output value of the New Zealand avocado industry exceeds 227 million New Zealand dollars, of which 167 million New Zealand dollars comes from avocado exports, and New Zealand’s domestic sales are about 60 million New Zealand dollars
    .
    Australia is the largest overseas market for New Zealand avocados, accounting for 80%-85% of New Zealand avocado exports.
    The rest is mainly shipped to 8 markets in Asia, of which Thailand's imports rank first in Asia
    .
    This year, due to the continued pressure of global sea and air transportation and high transportation costs, the New Zealand avocado industry may face greater export pressure
