Chile: Frost in avocado producing areas

Since Tuesday, July 13, there has been frost in some avocado producing areas in Chile. The Chilean Hass Avocado Association have received recorded temperature information from stations in towns that are located in low-lying areas near the growing regions. The majority of avocado groves are located on hillsides, which have better conditions compared to the flat land areas.

The Chilean Hass Avocado Association will initiate a program of visits to different groves in all the production areas to evaluate the scope of the damage, and in three weeks, they hope to have better figures of final production and exports for the 2010/11 season.
