Afrika Dzonga hi rin’wana ra vahumelerisi nkulu emisaveni va ma-avocado leringa kwalomu ka xiyimo xavu 12th, kuriku vuhumelerisi bya lembe exikarhi ka 80 000 na 120 000 tonnes leswinga hansi swinene eka muhumelerisi nkulu tiko ra Mexico’s 1.5 million tonnes.
Kuxaviseriwa ka matiko yale handle loku languteriweke eka nguva ya 2019 kusuka hi March kuya hi October i 14.5 million wa 4 kg wati cartons, leswi vulaka kwalomu ka 58 000 tons.

Kuxaviseriwa eka matiko yan’wani swifanele ku hundza 20 million cartons kuya hileswi swi fambisaka swona swita kula loko tindzhawu leti tirikarhi tindlandlamuka.
Nhlayo yikulu ya swibyariwa leswintshwa e Afrika Dzonga i tinxaka ta nhlonge ya ntima ta Hass na Hass ta ma-avocado. Swibyariwa swintshwa swa muxaka wa rihlaza wa ma-avocado ya kongomisiwe eka timakete leti hatlisaka kumbe leti saleleke endzhaku.

South America, Colombia, Brazil, Chile na Argentina i vahumelerisi nkulu va ma-avocado, laha Peru yi xaviselaka matiko mambe 60% wa nhlayo ya South America. Swibyariwa swa Colombia swile kukuleni hi rivilo swinene kutlula Afrika Dzonga, hi 1 500 kuya eka 2 000 ha lawa ya byariwaka lembe na lembe. Colombia narona risungule kuva muxaviseri wa matiko mambe wa muxaka wa ma-avocado ya Hass emisaveni.
