Avocado, The [EPUB ebook] 
Botany, Production and Uses

Although the avocado has been cultivated and consumed for more than 9000 years in its
native Latin America, world production and trade have only developed over the past few
decades, and now exceed 3.5 million tonnes.
The avocado is now widely traded between warmer and colder countries as a result of the
global community becoming increasingly aware of its versatility and nutritional value. For
the past decade, the global avocado industry has been going through a period of rapid
technological change and innovation. The dietary value of ‘the most nutritious of all fruit’ is
also receiving more attention.
