ALDI sets the bar! Discover why it's the only supermarket in Australia to exclusively sell local avocados

Data released by Avocados Australia found that Aussies consumed around 4.76kg of avocados per person. So, it’s no secret that Aussies are mad about avocados!

Avocados have also taken over the nation’s breakfast tables, with everyone from kids to grandparents enjoying the superfood on toast or as a fresh and healthy snack.


Grocery stores have taken notice, and now, we’ve got another exciting development concerning avos: ALDI is now the first supermarket in Australia to stock 100 per cent Aussie avocados.

This is great news for everyone, especially those who are seeking a more affordable way to buy avocados without sacrificing quality.

Avocados Australia saluted ALDI’s decision to stock Australian avocados exclusively in all 586 of its stores.

'ALDI’s commitment to stock Australian avocados is a positive step forward for the industry given the strong supply we have forecasted from the region,' commented Avocado Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, John Tyas.

‘Avocados have well and truly become a staple in many of our customer's weekly shops. By making this commitment this year, we are proud to be forming long-term relationships with local growers and supporting them and their businesses to grow,’ he continued.


It’s great to see that supermarkets like ALDI are on board with supporting the Australian avocado industry and its hardworking growers.

ALDI’s Group Director of Produce, Matt Atley, spoke highly about the commitment they’ve made and the partnership they’ve formed with local farmers.

'For us, seeing that Avo farmers around Australia are having a strong start to the season, particularly through the September to February harvesting period, means we can meet our customers’ insatiable demand for avos with purely Aussie fruit.'

'It is always our intention to support Aussie growers first, so it makes complete sense for us to stock only Australian avocados in our stores.


Having faith in the local crop also means that ALDI will be able to stock their shelves with the season’s best avocados (and lots of them!).

On top of that, Aussies can satisfy their demand for this delicious superfood without forking out too much money—regardless of whether they get it from ALDI's stores or online.

I used to go to Maryborough and Hervey Bay a lot. Trouble is I never made it Fraser Island or K'gari (whatever it is). I always wanted to see the dingoes as I've owned several myself.
Have been to Fraser Island lakes are lovely clear water when we went over there don’t know what it’s like now with so many tourists you know they have just euthanised a couple of dingoes for biting tourists the poor animals are starved they are so thin ,government got rid of the brumbies years ago ,one of their food sources. Now they are left to scavenge for food. A tourist was only just fined thousands of dollars recently for feeding them, all the government is interested in is the mighty dollar and no thought given to the dingoes. Shameful.

Asparagus is not on my menu for several reasons. It causes flatulence and sometimes stomach cramps. It also imparts a sulphur like smell to your urine and another bodily fluid.

Pineapple juice negates the second problem. Yes, from personal experience.
