Overview

The Hass Avocado Board (HAB) was established in 2002, after approval by producers and importers of Hass avocados in a national referendum. A 12-member board administers the program under USDA supervision. Nearly 20,000 producers and 100 importers are involved in HAB, which covers fresh domestic and imported Hass avocados sold in the U.S. market.

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.
