As Eurofruit reported earlier this month, Israeli company Agrexco has confirmed plans to increase its export of avocados from Israel this year by around 50 per cent to 50,000 tonnes.
According to a statement, the group shipped more than 22,000 tonnnes out of a total 32,000 tonnes of avocados exported from Israel last season, with revenues of some €47m.
This season, around 70 per cent of the country's total export crop will be exported by Agrexco, with new-season revenues expected to be around €70m.
The company is reportedly preparing to launch a new campaign next week which will focus on the fruit's nutritional and health values, citing information published by the US Department of Health.
