Abstract

A pioneering and innovative origin in many fields, both technical and marketing, the Californian avocado industry remains to this day the world number four in terms of planted areas, extending over approximately 20 000 ha. Since the early 1990s it has faced growing problems of competitiveness, in a context of rampant urbanization. The production system and structure have remained mainly traditional, while the costs of the main production factors have boomed, to become the highest in the avocado world. Nonetheless, the drastic shrinkage trend of the 2000s has given way to stabilizing planted areas, with the production zone situated to the north of Los Angeles holding up better than the southern zone, under greater stress.
