Been a while since econ 101 but I think tariffs are calculated as a cost of production shifting the supply curve to the left and also decreasing demand which shifts the demand curve to the left as well which should result in a nearly net zero impact for the company itself.
Anecdotally, avocado prices have plummeted in Canada due to American demand “decreasing” resulting in excess supply.
That’s actually wild. I don’t doubt it because more than a few wrenches were tossed into the supply chain but avocados in my specific city have been dirt cheap for a few months
800 grams for $7 is $8.75/kilo or $6.37US/kilo which is right in that chart I posted’s range for the last four weeks so I don’t know what you are trying to say here.

It’s just one source but it looks like avocados are the highest price they’ve ever been in Canada.

Apparently in Toronto you can get 4 organic avocados at Walmart for $7 (or maybe less than US$5).
How much does a walmart organic four pack of avocados weight?
Idk: maybe 150 grams to 250 grams each.

Yeah, but they say they’re organic.
