Avocados can be gateway fruit to the future in India. Even if it is not currently a commercial crop, there are benefits that can be obtained for the people of India. There are many nutritional benefits for the malnourished India. However, many problems are in the way to have a constant supply of avocados in India.
Researchers have proven that avocados must grow in a pH range of 5-7.
Because of that and the characteristics of a hot and yet wet climate,
avocados can only grow in parts of India. Grown in Southern states of India and in the hilly Northeastern state of Sikkim,
the avocado is limited. Many different varieties of the avocado hurt
their market potential because the varieties result in an inconsistent
quality in the fruit.

parminder, very interesting. Good Stuff. Do you think farmers will start planting the crop?
