Overview

The Hass Avocado Board (HAB) was established in 2002 to promote the consumption of Hass Avocados in the United States. A 12-member board representing domestic producers and importers of Hass Avocados directs the HAB's promotion, research and information programs under supervision of the Unites States Department of Agriculture. Hass Avocados are grown in California and imported into the US from Mexico, Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic and New Zealand.

AvoHQ is the HAB-administered Intranet that will connect 100 packers and over 20,000 domestic and foreign producers from five HAB member nations to exchange crop and marketing information in an effort to achieve an orderly flow of fruit to the U.S. market.
