2025 U.S. Avocado Crop Could Be A Big One

According to the latest USDA Fruit and Tree Nut outlook, domestic avocado production in on the way up.

“The California Avocado Commission estimates that California will produce 375 million pounds of avocados in marketing year 2024-2025," said USDA economist Catharine Weber.  "This is up 3% from last season.”

If realized, that increase would also be 44% above the three-year average.  Weber added this year’s crop looks to have great potential.

“This California avocado crop would be the 3rd largest in the last decade. California produces approximately 90% of the avocados grown in the U.S. each year, most of which are Haas and Haas, like avocado varieties.”

Weber added California growers are reporting elevated prices for avocados, particularly for larger size.
