Trump's Border Threats Have Likely Prompted A Spike In Avocado Prices
President Donald Trump’s threats last week to close the United States’ southern border are already affecting American consumers.
The price of Hass avocados jumped 34% on Tuesday, the largest spike in nearly a decade, amid the president’s threats that he would close the border unless Mexico stems the flow of migrants headed for the U.S.
Experts say the price will likely jump even more dramatically if Trump carries through with his threat.
“Avocado prices could easily double or triple if we shut down the border,” Roland Fumasi, vice president and senior analyst at Rabobank, a Dutch financial services company, told Bloomberg on Tuesday.
