About 60% of Israel’s avocado crop is grown in the Northern R&D region.
In the Northern Agriculture R&D region there are 3 growing areas: Western Galilee, where the avocado crop is a very important source of income and is based on the “Haas” variety; the Jordan Valley and Upper Galilee, where the Pinkerton variety is the main component of the avocado crop.
