Huge issue for avocados now as the chains continue to cheapen our product in a race to the bottom putting massive pressure on farmers’ profitability. Great way to destroy an industry…

APVMA response to 60 Minutes story on glyphosate | “On 24 July 2019, the APVMA offered 60 Minutes a full background briefing on glyphosate. 60 Minutes did not take up the offer.” Selective reporting - nothing like a bit of truth to spoil a story https://t.co/SoHZe6hm7R
