Market Demand — Avocado
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Avocado viable in San Antonio?
Avocado is well suited to San Antonio: growing-season temperatures (~28.5°C) and rainfall (~939 mm) fall within its 14–40°C range. Avocado (Fruits & Stimulants, perennial) performs best around 14 - 40 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 800 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.
Growing Avocado in San Antonio: what to expect
Rainfall in San Antonio (~939 mm/yr) roughly matches Avocado's ~800 mm need, so a normal year needs little supplemental water. Winter lows near -0.3°C are marginal for Avocado; young trees may need frost protection for their first few winters. Plant Avocado in early spring once the risk of hard frost has passed in San Antonio.
