Price of Avocados (Mexico)

[Dibbons]

My salads taste so incomplete without at least 1/2 sliced avocado. Here in Mexican Walmart the price for a long time now has been the equivalent of $2.72 USD a pound. Ouch. Gasoline rises every month, now the equivalent of about $5.50 gallon (regular).

Walmart pricing here in Savannah for SMALL avocados:

Avocado are 89 to 99 cents EACH. A bag of 5 are around $4.88 to $5.00.

Cost is higher at other area grocery stores.

My previous house had a pair of Avocado trees... I had thousands of Avocados every year... And I don't like Avocados.... I use to give away grocery sacks full of the things....

Those gas prices are what they are here in SoCal. About $6 for premium (91 Oct). I’m surprised they are that high in MX. You have your own oil supply - Yes? And then refining it - do you have refineries?

unaffordable everything saves the planet........ no one got the memo?

What I don't get is why we do not have more US-produced Avocados available. We grow enough of them here as it is...cr8crshr/Bill

Avocados.. call the cartel and complain! Do you know how many farmers die because of those things....

And then refining it - do you have refineries?

Now six Mexican refineries including one just opened this year.

Regular gasoline is about 5.25 per US gallon in British Columbia.

Here it just went up to about 4.30 per US gallon regular. ( IF I have done my calculations correctly).

No question the pooch is getting screwed….. Similar to what we are in CA. We pay the highest gas tax in the world. And our prices are at the very top of the spectrum - Why? Someone’s not telling us the true truth …..

Valero Oil has been sued dozens of times by the state of corruption. They have won every time and further slammed the CA legislature in a letter made public for what they’re doing to the citizens of this state - It’s a legislative fraud that is forcing us to pay these ridiculous gas prices. The state has no material response. There’s no factual reason why - outside of a plainly corrupt state govt.

I'm positive. Google Avacoda.. Mexico and 60 minutes. They've taken over entire villages, killed farmers and workers just to take over the farms.

Those 99-cent ones, I picked up 4 at Smiths/Kroger here, as I was making some Guacamole and that is 4.00 total. I like them but as they are way overpriced, I pass most of the time. I remember just a short time ago they were 25 cents a piece so someone is getting very rich off of them...cr8crshr/Bill

The Mexican drug cartels gave taken control of a avocado production....they control prices not the free market

There's an echo....
