The excellent quality and year-round supply of Australian avocados means they are highly sought after in international markets.
Avocado production in Australia is widespread with orchards found from the north-east to the south-west of the country. The major production regions are the Atherton Tablelands, around Bundaberg, and south-west Western Australia.
In 2012-13 the Australian avocado industry produced 54,877 tonnes of avocados. The main varieties produced are Hass, Shepard, Reed, Sharwil and Wurtz with Hass about 80% of production and Shepard about 10%.
Hass is more oval than other varieties and has a distinctive pebbly skin which turns a rich purple when ripe. Hass avocados are available almost all year round from different regions of Australia with the main period of export supply from April to November.
