Max Armstrong shares how the promotion of avocados from Mexico has helped build demand for domestic fruit. U.S. consumption has risen from 1 pound per person to more than 8 pounds per person today. The large Mexico crop, which was a concern at first, has turned into a benefit. Those imports are also balancing supply, and prices.
