Avocado prices almost doubled due to global shortage and increased demand

A shortage of lawyers has driven up prices.

Wholesale prices of avocados are more than double what they were a year ago.

Most of the extra costs are passed on to consumers, with retail prices almost doubling.

Growing global demand and a natural seasonal decline in production are at the root of the shortage.

But stay tuned to the lawyers, the prices should drop in about a month, when the production in Mexico will increase.
