Colombian Avocados: They're Not Just Grown, They're Raised!

Avocados are no longer just a trend — they’re a lifestyle. And while many consumers think first of Mexico or California, there’s a country that’s quietly and powerfully carving out its place in the avocado world: Colombia.

This week on the Produce Buzzers Podcast, we’re excited to welcome Manuel Michel of Avocados From Colombia, an organization dedicated to telling the story behind Colombia’s fast-growing avocado industry. From year-round growing regions and ideal climates to sustainability, quality, and expanding global demand, Colombia is becoming an increasingly important player in keeping avocados on shelves and on plates.

Manuel is here to help us understand why Colombian avocados matter, how they complement existing supply, and what retailers and consumers should know about this exciting origin. So whether you’re slicing, smashing, or spreading, get ready to learn more about one of the most dynamic avocado origins in the world.
