South Africa’s appetite for avos is on the up and up, and where there’s demand, there are also those who turn to crime.
The average avo weights between 200 and 250 grams, but the ‘Avozilla’ blows those measly figures out of the water.
In 2017, South Africa exported 43 492 tonnes of avocados, to the value of R853 million. One country, in particular, has taken a liking to our goodies.
Smashed on your toast in the morning, Millennial-style, cutting your cholesterol with healthy unsaturated oil, or moisturising your face – the avocado is king.
