Amid an extraordinarily rapid decline in global economic activity and international transport, world supply and demand for avocado have experienced COVID-19-related disruptions and contractions through several channels of transmission. On the supply side, the adverse effects of the physical distancing measures have tended to be more immediate for the relatively labor-intensive production and trade of avocado. Given their high perishability, avocados require timely and well-coordinated harvesting and post-harvest handling, as well as uninterrupted cold chains. Delays in supply chains are particularly troublesome for avocados due to the occurrence of shrinkage in transport during the lockdown, which not only affected product quality but also reduced the weight and value of shipments received by importing countries.

Avocados contain vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, including 25 essential nutrients. It also contains phytochemicals, like beta-sitosterol and antioxidants, like lycopene and beta-carotene. The essential nutrients are increasing the demand for the fruit, globally, and therefore acts as a major driving force behind the growth of the avocado market. The demand for avocados is increasing globally due to their health benefits as it increases vision, prevents heart-related diseases, and helps in improving digestion. The increased demand across the globe has resulted in increased production. According to FAOSTAT, avocado production was 5.7 million metric ton in 2016, which has increased by 12.7% and reached 7.1 million metric ton in 2019.

The California Hass avocado on average weighs about six ounces (170 grams). Cold-hardy varieties of avocado are grown in the Gainesville region of Florida.
