Israeli Avocado growers are said to be expecting NIS 165 million in revenues from the avocado harvest that has just began.
 
In a press release Ilan Eshel, director of the Organization of Fruit Growers in Israel, noted that revenues this year will be 10% morethan last year, primarily due to the increased value of the euro against the shekel in recent months and the better quality of the harvest.
 
Eshel also expects an increase in avocado prices in the domestic market. About 80,000 tons of avocados are expected to be harvested this year, 55,000 tons of which are to be exported, primarily to Europe.
