“The Hass avocado success story in the United States, in terms of rapid increase of per capita consumption, while maintaining stable or increasing prices to producers and importers, has made avocados the envy of the produce industry.”

Distinguished Professor, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics act the University of California, Davis

Inside HAB
The Hass Avocado Board (HAB) exists to help make avocados America’s most popular fruit.
HAB is the only avocado organization that equips the entire global industry for success by collecting, focusing and distributing investments to maintain and expand demand for avocados in the United States.
HAB provides the industry with consolidated supply and market data, conducts nutrition research, educates health professionals, and brings people together from all corners of the industry to collectively work towards growth that benefits everyone. The organization also collects and reallocates funds to California and importer associations to benefit specific countries of origin in promoting their avocado brands to customers and consumers across the United States.
THE “HAB EFFECT”
Empowering HAB advocates.
The “HAB Effect” is the ability for members to do things they wouldn’t be able to do without the collective power of the Hass Avocado Board (HAB) and for all members to amplify the work done by others for their own growth.
While the concept of data sharing is as old as HAB itself, in the early days, the quality was hampered by the pervasive mistrust among the HAB partners. Yet, over time as collaboration and cooperation evolved, so did the credibility and quality of the data inputs. The key players saw the value and built the Avocado Volume and Inventory System (AVIS) which became a widely successful global industry intelligence engine providing invaluable information related to U.S. avocado supply, inventory and sales.
