Peru could provide some relief to the coming avocado shortage in the US after the Biden administration cut off Mexican imports following death threats from cartel gangs to a health inspector. As the US avocado supply is expected to fall drastically in the next two weeks after suspending the producer of 80 percent of the nation's supply, experts believe the shortage would be short-lived as Peru, America's third largest avocado producer, could help lessen the burden. It currently supplies just six per cent of the fruit sent to the US - but that figure is likely to rise exponentially as Peruvian exporters work to satisfy the colossal US demand for avocadoes.
