Traders around the world have noticed how quickly the demand for avocados is growing in different parts of the world. New Zealand agrarians are especially worried about the situation where criminals can “steal” several thousand avocados in one night.

“The fruits in which we invest our souls are stolen from us, and then sold on the black market at a price of $ 1 apiece,” the farmers lament. - As a result, in order to earn at least something, we are forced to increase the cost of the avocado that we have left. "This does not quite suit the buyers who sell avocados at supermarket shelves at a price of $ 5 per unit, so they prefer to buy our own avocados, but at a more attractive price."

“The criminals approached the theft of the crop very technologically,” police say. - They find unguarded groves of avocados using the Google Earth service. Now we, together with the agrarians, are thinking how to be one step ahead of the villains. ”

New Zealand police also emphasize that the theft of avocados in their country today is almost one of the three crime leaders. And law enforcement officers at the same time experience a shortage of time and employees to throw all their strength into the search for "avocado thieves."

“It turns out that we ourselves must save ourselves, because you can’t count on outside help,” the farmers shrug. “Now we are doing our best: we enclose our groves with electric fences, install light and motion sensors, set up armed patrols at night, and scatter traps.” We hope that this will at least scare away the pests! ”
