About
This data details avocado sales and average pricing across the United States spanning the period from 2015 through 2021.

The data categorises sales of three specific avocado varieties, tracks total volume, and distinguishes between conventional and organic types, providing regional context for market analysis. Users should be mindful that one of the geographical entries is labelled "TOTAL U.S", which may affect regional comparisons.
