This Is Why Avocado Prices <br />Are Skyrocketing New figures show that the price for <br />mid-sized versions of the fruit is <br />up nearly 130% from this time <br />in 2018. Rabobank senior analyst <br />David Magaña says that in 2019, <br />a 25-pound box cost $84.25. Last year, it was just $37 <br />for the same amount <br />around July 4. Magaña lists a couple reasons for <br />the price hike, one of which is <br />increased demand worldwide.

Magaña goes on to say that <br />the price hikes should not <br />last very long. David Magaña, via <br />'USA Today' David Magaña, via <br />'USA Today'
