In 2024, exports of Hass avocado (Persea americana Mill.) from Colombia reached a total value of USD 267.3 million FOB, representing a 33.31% increase compared to 2023. Additionally, the total export volume rose to 122,315 net tons, reflecting a 6.79% increase over the previous year.
One of the main challenges in the postharvest stage of Hass avocado is anthracnose, a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. This disease originates from a quiescent infection that begins in the field and remains latent until the fruit ripens, making control efforts difficult. Symptoms, such as fruit softening and rot...
