The Chilean Hass Avocado Association is looking into the effects on crops of freezing conditions that have swept southern South America. “We had three nights of frost last week, which can affect the avocado crop,” said association president Adolfo Ochagavía. “However, it always takes some time to assess any damage accurately, and we will have a much clearer idea of the effects three weeks from now.”
