U.S. annual avocado consumption 1985-2022
Per capita consumption has increased from 2 pounds in 2001 to over 9 pounds in 2022.
Avocados, which have become a meme for the Millennial generation, have exploded in popularity in the United States over the last few decades. In 1985, domestic consumption was a meager 436 million pounds. That number has increased six-fold to over 2.7 billion pounds of the berry being consumed by Americans in 2022.
