The Big Game: A Big Occasion for Mexican Avocados

Avocados From Mexico is responsible for approximately 95% of avocado sales in the U.S. during the weeks leading up to the Big Game. In fact, one container of avocados leaves the packing house for the border every 6-7 minutes!

About 250 million pounds of Mexican avocados are imported in the four-week period leading up to game day according to Hass Avocado Board volume data, underscoring the connection between the fruit and consumers’ football celebrations.

To put that number in perspective, that’s enough avocados to:

Place an avocado in every seat at the stadium where the Big Game will be played – more than 6,000 times

Go back and forth the length of a football field more than 400,000 times

That’s the equivalent weight of more than 35,000 Big Game trophies

Cover a football field with 75 feet of guacamole

Fill approximately 30 million football helmets with guacamole
