Yeah I have been asking around this afternoon.
Seems that this time of year there are hardly any avocados and they go for 30 pesos y adelante!!!!!
I only have 1 tree that is giving avocados now, but I eat them!!!!
When avocados are plentiful they go for around 10 pesos. The best for selling, I was told, are the variety that are long(ish).
Suprisinly, a guy who buys avocados here, tells me he even buys "a la flora". He looks at ure tree when it is flowering and gives u a price. All the avocados that grow that year on the tree are his!!!!! He is really gambling because hard rain can knock off all ure flowers...... but if u have a good eye ( says he ) it can really pay off.......
I also learned some trees give fruit every year. Most of mine do.( most common here is number 34. Big, smooth skinned....)
Others every 2 years and some even every 3 years....... and they are supposed to be the "the mas suave"........
