Frequently asked questions

Where are avocados cheapest right now?
Of the 11 terminal markets USDA reported in the week to Oct 30, 2026, Miami was cheapest at $31.70 and Columbia dearest at $45.50 — a difference of $13.80 per package for the same produce.
When are avocados cheapest?
Averaged across five years of USDA reports, avocados are cheapest in November at $28.25 and most expensive in June at $47.36.
What is the difference between FOB and terminal market prices?
FOB (free on board) is the price at the origin shipping point, before freight. Terminal market prices are wholesale prices at major-city terminal markets, for whatever pack each market reported, so the two are shown side by side rather than as a margin.
