Homestead, Fla.-based Brooks Tropicals LLC will see an increase in Florida avocado production because of new grafts bearing fruit, says Peter Leifermann, vice president of sales and marketing.
Versatility is a retail promotional bonanza for Florida avocados, suppliers say. Retailers are best-served by providing shoppers with usage ideas and choices, they said.
Rough tropical weather in 2017 and its fallout in 2018 are now history, and Florida avocado grower-shippers say they are eager to get back to business as usual this year.
