Eating avocado has become a luxury because during the last week the price of this fruit suffered an increase in its prices of almost more than 40% since previously it was sold at 75 pesos per kilo and now it is traded for up to 120 pesos per kilogram. According to a tour carried out by El Sol de Irapuato, it was found that the price of avocado had a considerable increase due to various reasons, mainly as a consequence of lower production in the cycle in the main producing states, in addition to an increase in fertilizers, labor and even gasoline for the transfer, which causes the purchase-sale to be much higher. Ricardo Álvarez, who is a fruit and vegetable seller, mentioned that the Covid-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on farmland since having stopped production for a year has meant that farmers are unable to cope with their production. "They are bringing us very little because the same ones who transport the merchandise tell us that there is very little avocado in the production places and, sometimes, those that are there have not finished ripening because they are working at forced marches," he said.
