It's A Perfect Time to Pick Avocados: Mexican Avocado Growers Fill Void Left by U.S. Shortage

2009-01-08 16:44:05 -

A series of events affecting the United States domestic avocado crop has created an opportunity for Mexican avocado growers to fill the void. Texas-based Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ORGC) appears to have picked the right time to acquire prolific Mexico-based avocado grower "AvocadoMan" as the shortage ensues.


According to trade magazine "Packer," the 2008-09 California avocado crop is expected to be the smallest in two decades, but a bumper crop out of Mexico could help ensure ample volumes nationwide. Early season avocado producer Chile is also off considerably and North Carolina's crop faces troubles as well.


Organic Alliance may well be the beneficiary of a timely acquisition even though AvocadoMan was initially targeted because of the natural synergies with the company's existing organic business and to add AvocadoMan's robust revenue potential ($12,000,000 top-line revenue in 2007) to Organic Alliance's balance sheet. Now, with the crop shortages reported, AvocadoMan's ample supplies south of the border give Organic Alliance a hot ticket with distributors and perhaps a gateway to enhanced distribution of other foods from the Organic Alliance menu.


Future quarterly reports will indicate how Organic Alliance monetized the acquisition and the opportunity at present. Right now, it's hard to argue that the company couldn't have chosen a more perfect time to pick some avocados.
