In the 90s they were sold in CA for 10/$1. Around 2006 the growers shifted to south of the border with forced shortages to drive the price up. Now they retail for about $1 ea to $3.50 each.
A 25 lb box has between 30-80, 48 say med avg. size.

I bought small avacados last week 4 for $1.00.
The price has been up and down lately, but because MX has a farm worker strike will not destroy the US economy.
It is an inconvenience for restaurants, I admit.

So for medium avocados, these restaurants are paying $2 each in a large box? Ouch.
Agriculture has some strange ways of paying for labor. Some is completely market oriented, some is very centralized.
