Exactly,idk why they want to grow a plant in a region where its technically not supposed to grow😭😭that’s the whole crux of the situation,wasting money on something that should otherwise be used to grow something that actually belongs in that region
@@yiquny So, you don't know how #Cargill and other EVIL corporations drive farmers out of business, aiming to end-up feeding humans and animals ultra processed TRASH for food?
My grandma, in Ca, had 2 in her yard. They produced so much fruit that we always had to prop the limbs up with 2x4s. We had to get rid of one of them because there was so much fruit that the tree split from the weight. It literally broke in half.
I lived in East San Diego county. We had one mature tree in in our yard. So big we couldn't get the ones on top. We couldn't give them away fast enough. Never watered it either
Exactly, especially to that region where Michoacan is located. California will never get close to the production of what Mexico does. Avocado trees are very sensitive to climate, water and disease. Michoacan is the perfect location, because it's the avocado's natural growing region.
@@EV4LS1DE10MAN Anywhere else? Get your facts straight Rudolph Hass only patented a Guatemalan seedling, and put his last name on it. Henceforth claiming to be the owner of that "type" of Avocado, BS. Stolen credit to perform capitalist needs. Same thing with Color TV, it was first implemented/invented by a Mexican, his ideas were definitely incorporated into the system that ended up being used. yet the commercial version was done by a white person obviously and he was given credit. Like such there's thousands more instances.
I am not a big fan of avocado probably I tasted the US one. May be I should get the one from Mexico😅 But I use lot of avocado oil in cooking and use the one from Mexico and love it.
avocados were grown by the native americans in mexico in their city states, domesticated from a wild plant, genetically modified into what we know today before even USA existed.
@@ulisesramirez2944 I'm mexican/ american growing avocados in california so does make me mexican pure or still mexican american growing mexican hass or california hass since it's mexico anyways! Ya me confudiste mas
Labor costs and growing a fruit in a dry climate that requires a lot of water will increase your overhead. Mexico gets a lot more rainfall than california so it makes sense that costs would be lower
You were right with the first one. Rainfall/water isn't a differentiating factor. American farmers pay their harvesters and other laborers $13-16 per hour and in Mexico the exact same jobs are paid $3-6 per DAY.
@@westside213 but do the Mexicans need to be paid more? Their cost of living is much lower surely? I dont know how different Americans are from their ancestors, but back in your homelands of Europe, we buy local with pride and given the choice, we'd usually go local and pay more than cheaper and from other countries, including our neighbours
@@westside213where did you get that number? The minimum wage in Mexico has been increasing 20% every year since 2018, now it's about 13 dollars per day. That still isn't a lot but significantly more than $3-6 per day.
@@enriqueorganisCrop Farm worker in Mexico is about that rate though. The rate for US is lower than that for crop farm workers though, since while that is the going rate, a lot of them do employ labourers that they can underpay. Not to the 4 or 6 dollar threshold, just lower than that 13 or 15 usd.
@@westside213And yeah water is a differentiating factor. That water isn’t free to begin with, even if you ignore all the issues with groundwater sustainability and ongoing droughts and excessive water use in a dry region and Californias and that region in general, ongoing water problems.
I LOVE avocados. I have tried avocados from tons of places, like California, Hawaii, Colombia, Peru, and New Zealand, BUT Mexican avocados just have a special taste. Similar to how the Mexican lime tastes better than other key limes.
No mention of cartels hijacking these farms and causing major violence in Michoacán. Avocados also drain the state of its water while they’re going through drought.
My parents are from Michoacán so when they didn’t have anything all they had were avocados , sal y limón now that they are here in the us they still buy them no matter how pricy they get at the market
😂 maybe your parents were lazy and mediocre in México How come all they had was avocados when a lot of people in México live better lives than in the U.S.?😂
Mexican avocados are the best for the simple fact that the avocado is endemic to Mexico. The US, as always, wants to plant where it should not be planted naturally. That is why food, fruits, vegetables, meats and fish are better in quality and freshness in Mexico.
Mexico is one of the largest producers of oranges. Oranges originated in Asia, not Mexico, so I guess you'd say that "Mexico, as always, wants to plant where it should not be planted naturally?"
It’s unfortunate for California farmers, but thirsty crops like avocados, pistachios, and almonds don’t belong there. Switch to hazelnuts and agave as a sweetener.
@MrTmenzo Just don't irrigate it then. There won't be as much yield but then the roots will go deeper and bring up the minerals it used to be famed for. BTW I've eaten Alfalfa sprouts in a vegan restaurant.
i just got back from MX, the avocado's there were ripe in the supermarket and super creamy. the ones i just bought here in NY from walmart taste like cardboard.
They are coating them with APEEL, so many are ELDERLY OLD CRAP. THEY DONT RIPEN PROPERLY WEIRD WATERY (should have rotted) TASTELESS AND ONCE YOU CUT INTO IT, BECOMES BROWN IN MINUTES! YUCK!🤮 THANKS AGAIN FOR MORE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CRAP FOOD FROM BILL GATES! DISGUSTING!
Storage 3-6 months in freezer in U.S. WAREHOUSES THEN SORTED OUT TO STORES ACROSS THE STATES IN THERE STORAGE STORES, IN MEXICO ITS COMPLETELY FRESH NO STORAGE.
I KNEW this had been said, and I agree with others: It takes TOO MUCH WATER to grow them. Let Mexico do it. Ca. can not afford to waste all of that water!
Maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t be planting a water intensive plant in a dry climate. If one country just has a natural comparative advantage in growing a crop then why are we upset we can’t “compete”
In reality, we can’t compete with many world growers. US produce has always been heavily subsidized. US corn being allowed to export tariff free drove the immigration crisis in the 90s when Mexican corn farmers were driven out of business with NAFTA.
🥑 California avocados are very good, there is nothing wrong with their production and cultivation, but do not try to compete with avocados from Michoacan, avocados are native to Mexico, and they are the best in the world. 🥑🇲🇽 And at this present time I’m preparing myself a good guacamole 🥑 anyone 😜
Many lakes in Michoacan, Mexico are disappearing due to extensive droughts, and the avocado industry is the culprit! The U.S. has more regulations to protect water consumption, while in Mexico businesses interest are put above the public’s interest when it comes to water supply. Only a few make a killing from the avocado industry in Mexico, at the expensive of the general public without access to running water! 💧
Not as often as before my guy. In the last years Mexico is prioritizing its people, so all those regulations that you are talking about are taking place in Mexico as well. Pretty much Mexico is ramping up on every single aspect of production for the well being of the Mexicans.
Avocados originated in Mexico thousands of years ago, as tomatoes. Corn and chocolate! Even the words are from nahuatl origin. A few things Mexico gave to the world...
here is some inf. that I found: El aguacate es considerado un alimento nativo de las regiones tropicales y subtropicales de América. Su nombre proviene del náhuatl «ahuacatl», que significa «testículo» en referencia a su forma. Los conquistadores españoles lo llevaron a Europa en el siglo XVI, donde se fue popularizando gradualmente. Hoy en día, el aguacate se cultiva en muchas partes del mundo, pero los principales productores son México, República Dominicana, Colombia y Perú. México es el mayor exportador de aguacates a nivel global, siendo el estado de Michoacán el principal productor del país.
@@christhedoc8689 They are expensive, I know. But so nutritious. I live in area of Mexico where a lot of Americans live so they unfortunately raise the prices. The good thing is that every Monday on my street we have a food fair. I forget what Americans a call it. And they sell a lot of locally grown, organic produce and not too expensive.
The trees take a VERY long time to grow. The labor here is Mexican in CA and so is Mexico. We had a grower in Santa Barbara recently who had thieves stealing the crops for use or sale.
The Mexican avocado is not just a fruit; it is a symbol of the fertile bounty of Mexico, rich in flavor and history, that has transcended borders to conquer the American palate. Its journey from the sun-drenched orchards of Michoacán to the tables of millions speaks to the power of Mexican agriculture, culture, and the undeniable allure of something simple yet profound. This humble fruit, with its velvety texture and vibrant taste, has become an ambassador of Mexican heritage, bridging cultures and nourishing both body and soul. Nice video, CNBC!
I completely agree with you! My first 100k took a long time and wasn't that special to be honest with you. Once I hit 300K that is the game changer in my opinion. At this point my money is basically making me a pretty good yearly salary. When I go to sleep at night I know my money is making decent money with the help of my FA
Nice. People often underestimate financial advisors' importance. Over 50 years of data reveal that those who work with advisors typically earn more than those who go it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 13 years, resulting in a $1 million portfolio, largely from early investments in AI and other growth stocks.
I think the answer is kind of straightforward right? This country is so hostile to farmworkers that they need to hide their faces or risk deportation. You keep cracking down on immigrant labor in agriculture and then complaining that food is too expensive and imports are too sketchy.
Avocados have been growing in Michoacan Mexico for thousands of years, its their native environment. California has been very successful however the cost and availability of water for the crops has become a challenge for farmers.
Mexico will stop buying corn from The United States and probably hike the price of export of 🥑 to the United States. Time for the Mexican farm workers to come back home
And to know that the US government threatened Mexico that they’re were not gonna import avocados because some minor incident . I was thinking. Bring in on ! What a joke!
I thought that the decision to suspend inspections that allow you to export to your major customer was smart and right. Sort your behaviour out or the whole revenue can be closed down.
1) Mexican avocados were allowed to be imported in small numbers beginning in 1997, to meet growing demands not met by US growers. 2) Mexican avocado industry is largely controlled by Cartels. Yes, the same ones as you are thinking when I say that word. 3) 2007 "arsonists" started large "wildfires" in San Diego County, destroying 90% of the largest US growing region of the US avocado crop. 4) Later that year, restrictions on the importation volume of Mexican avocados was lifted, as we could no longer meet a growing demand with domestic production.
My mom has 20 acres in zamora mich, left to her by her dad..She did the smart thing and leased the land to an avocado grower.He takes care of "everything "😉all she does is collect 😅
“So how did Mexico become the dominant producer of avocados” Uhhh ma’am they’re native to Mexico, and have been grown there for thousands of years. How do you think 😂
Stop with all the regulations and stop diverting the water into the ocean and the California farmer's can do their jobs. It's not rocket science it's just common sense.
@@neilmckay8649 there's also a thing of too much regulation and it's sad that you don't seem to know that. It's way easier for a country to grow and thrive if they are allowed to do so.
@@Ohiostategenerationx agree that too much regulation stifles businesses but your comment stated 'all' and that'd be anarchy. I've been lucky enough to live in first, third and developing countries, there are benefits in each.
@@neilmckay8649 I didn't think that I would have to spell it the whole thing out. I was thinking that most people would realize what I was talking about.
Her dad got it in the 50s. Back then, property prices weren't so exaggerated. The government would even help you if you planned on using it for agriculture. An acre in Calif. in the 50's was $300. Now it's $12k an acre. ($300 in 1950 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3,910.89 today)
2 years ago Jalisco got their own Certification to export to the US. So the supply is growing and now goes from two different States. But only those 2 States can export, so it isn't the whole country growing them, just Michoacán and now Jalisco to fill in the shipping gaps.
We're growing a variety of avocado trees in Los Angeles. Heavy crop and the shade is a bonus. The leaves makes premium mulch or compost and the branch cuttings good to use for BBQ
Well, It's very simple: 20 years ago guacamole and avocados were a Mexican restaurants tradition, mostly. Nowadays it has expanded to the entire world as a delicacy. Especially in USA. I heard even guacamole and tortilla chips is the most consumed dish during the Superbowl, 5 de Mayo and most holidays. In fact, there are three things you can't never get rid of your life: a Mexican, a Mariachi, a shot of tequila, tacos, and a tasty guacamole.
every fricking avocado is about 2 or 3 dllr each, is too expensive and I rarely eat it, now with this out of control inflation I watch every penny I spend
CA farmers are locked into water rights which means their water is heavily subsidized by CA residents, and still can't compete with mexico where they have better climates are more predictable rainfalls...
In order to US defeat mexico avocado production is when US develop a synthetic avocado that can compete against natural grow mexican avocado, otherwise US most resign to never get the avocado production worldwide leadership! It had to be said and it was said!
avocados were grown by the native americans in mexico in their city states, domesticated from a wild plant, genetically modified into what we know today before even USA existed! They would farm huge crops of Corn, squash, avocado, tomaotes. Mos tof w hat we eat comes from mexico and azteks/mayans/
In Canada we pay much more for Avocado, in fact we make way less and pay more for everything. Especially housing, a 200k run down house in the U.S will cost more than 1 million Canadian. I think Canada is fast becoming Mexico.
The lake at 0:30 is in Zirahuen Michoacán Mexico. It is said that the best avocados of the world are in Mexico and the best avocados in Mexico are in Michoacán and in all Michoacán here in zirahuen you'll find the best ones. The lake is at thousands of feet high and it's a caldera surrounded by big extinct volcanoes 360. 2 big ones and around 5 little ones. Michoacán has thousands of volcanic cones.
California is the only valuable state in America but it’s already wasting too much water to feed America that’s shy it’s not viable to produce avocados in California.
The agriculture in Mexico is just 100x better. corn, apples, beans, wheat and so many other things are far much better in Mexico. The 1st thing that stands out in their agriculture is that THEY DONT USE GMO’s
Haha ...no. But you should worry about these farmer product. Because it's a very water demand process and , you know, Chile is a country in the middle of desert.
