Who celebrates this nonsense? Not Mexicans.

It is a made-up holiday to push Tequila, Corona Beer, and Tex-Mex food masquerading as Mexican food. (Tex-Mex food is a cuisine of its own and can be very good).

In February, the United States briefly suspended imports from Mexico's western state of Michoacan after a U.S. official received a threat. It didn't take long for the U.S. government to reinstate imports, but the brief disruption still drove prices up.

And a few months later, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott required "enhanced safety inspections" of commercial vehicles entering Texas for a week. That disruption resulted in hundreds of millions of lost dollars and delays in shipments — and raised avocado prices. That's on top of less rain in the region, which has resulted in lower yields and smaller avocados, said Campbell.

Meanwhile, demand has been strong, noted David Magaña, senior analyst for horticulture at Rabobank. That's not just due to typical spikes around the Super Bowl and Cinco de Mayo, but also because more Americans are interested in in avocados year-round, he said.
"Per capita consumption in the US has more than doubled over the last decade," he said. "And I still think there is some room for growth."
