Avocado shipments from Mexico are expected to decline by 8% for the 2021-22 crop year, Bloomberg reported, citing federal data. Output had reached a record high the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>The temporary pause on shipments sparked fears of a nationwide shortage, since avocados grown in Mexico account for approximately 80% of the US supply. At one point, Chipotle warned that it only had weeks of remaining supply, while smaller chains and independent restaurants quickly ran out of stock.<\/p>\n<p>Mission Produce, the top US avocado distributor, recently disclosed that it raised prices by 50%<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartially offsetting price gains was an 18% decrease in avocado volume sold, which was primarily driven by lower supply, but exacerbated by price sensitivity in select international markets that competed for lower cost sources of fruit,\u201d Mission Produce CEO Steve Barnard said in the company\u2019s first-quarter earnings report.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
