According to United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), world avocado production in 2004 stood at nearly 3.2 million metric tons - representing a rise of 1.1 million tons on 1994’s production.
Whilst Mexico still accounts for almost one third of production (32.5% in 2004), growth in other producing nations has largely been responsible for the overall upturn in production. High growth areas include Asia and the Pacific, which, according to the FAO, will represent some 11% of production by 2010.
