The Art of Avocado Timing If you wait until you really want an avocado, the market won’t have any ripe ones. You need to buy them in advance. If you eat an avocado that’s not quite ripe, you won’t enjoy it. AND, you won’t have a chance to enjoy it tomorrow, when it would have been perfect if you had only waited. If you live your life based on instant gratification and little planning, you’ll either never have a good avocado or you’ll pay more than you should to someone else who planned ahead. Buy more avocados than you think you need, because the hassles are always greater than the cost, so you might as well invest. And since you have so many, share them when they’re ripe. What goes around comes around. Plant your tree before you need the shade. — A lesson from Seth Godin

Introducing the latest sensation in avocados: the Gem! 🥑 Gem avocados are larger than the Hass but grow more compactly on trees, offering the perfect blend of both worlds. They promise a rich, nutty flavour reminiscent of the Reed avocado, with a ripening process similar to the Hass. Will you check out the latest fruit sensation?!? https://hubs.ly/Q02LFPGn0

This avocado season is unfolding uniquely according to our latest #MarketUpdate!🥑 California has already harvested about 150 million pounds of avocados, putting the industry about a month ahead of its usual schedule due to weather and market conditions. The market has seen heavy supplies from California, which has lessened the impact of the reduced Mexican fruit availability compared to previous seasons. The Loca crop is expected to start in July and is projected to be slightly below average. High temperatures in Mexico may result in a slow start to the new crop and smaller-sized avocados. Peru is expected to have its first major avocado arrivals in the first week of June. However, the crop is 25 to 30% smaller than usual this year. Despite this, a strong but brief season is anticipated, with ample supplies expected through July and into part of August. Colombia is anticipated to have good avocado supplies available until August. #WestPakAvocado #Avocados #IndustryUpdate

Are you sick of bad avocados? Imagine a scenario. It’s Friday evening. The weekend’s here. You’re buzzing. You’ve got a bag of nachos at home, and you’re salivating at the thought of dipping every single chip in lovely, creamy guacamole. So off you go to the supermarket to find the perfect avocados. You start pressing them like everyone else does as you search for the right ones. Unfortunately, some are too hard, others too soft, so you give up and leave the supermarket disappointed. I’m not ashamed to admit that this is all too familiar for me! So, personally, I’m excited that GRUNDFOS worked with JD Cooling Group to ensure perfectly ripe avocados. Not only that, the project also minimised foodwaste and led to substantial energy savings for the customer Worldwide Fruit Limited.

What's not to like about the humble avocado? (Don't answer that actually). But seriously, I feel proud to share the latest work from PA Consulting, helping Avocados from Mexico to grow their market share to 80 percent and increasing the volume of US avocado imports significantly to secure predictable income for Mexican avocado growers and distributors. Find out how we did it in the story below. (And if you want to challenge me on my love for avocados, go ahead...I'm ready for you!) #avocados #growthstrategy

#IDIDNOTKNOWTHAT How to Remove an Avocado Pit in 4 Easy Steps https://lnkd.in/ewiE2e9b via @RealSimple

“I came looking for you guys yesterday but you weren’t here” She said. This was a customer’s words to I and my sister. We’ll call her Mrs. Henshaw We have an Avacado tree in our farm, every year it produces good and BIG fruits, So, we decided to sell the fruits it produced this year ourselves in a busy area in town where mostly persons returning from work pass through. My dad advised us to go towards evening hours when they’ll drive or walk by, And we did just that. We got there by 3:30 pm, found a spot and put out our avocados, You can imagine all eyes on us, the fruits looking so fresh and tantalizing, Customers started coming and we sold a little, Their hesitations were much, so, we gave up and took home the remnants. Then we came back there two days later, We noticed that persons that didn’t buy the other day were the first to patronize us, But the words of this particular lady, Mrs. Henshaw stuck, “I saw you guys the other day but was confused on if I should buy or not, So, I looked for you guys yesterday, and I’m glad you came around today” She bought more than we expected, I mean she bought 4 sets, we were so surprised. Imagine we had not come out that day. We sold out without spending half the time we did the other day. Just like our avocado customers, Do not think that your prospect will patronize/buy your service at once or immediately, It might take some days, weeks, or even months to make that buying decision, They need to trust you enough, They need to be sure your product is good enough, They need to be sure you can do what you said you do. Before bringing out their MONEY. So, don’t give up on them yet ✨know their concerns & provide answers ✨Keep showing your skills and expertise ✨Keep creating relevant content ✨Keep reaching out to them ✨Keep showing up Results awaits you! P.S. Have you had similar experience with sales? P.S.S. Do you like avocados? I do😩especially with bread. #sales #marketingtips #writing
