California or Mexico? The race for the world’s avocado capital
- Fallbrook in California and Uruapan in Mexico both claim the title “Avocado Capital of the World.”
- Uruapan is in Michoacán, Mexico, the world’s biggest avocado-producing region and a major export hub.
- Fallbrook’s claim comes from its long avocado-growing history and the fruit’s importance to the Southern California community.
- Neither place has formal recognition for the title, making it a local nickname rather than an official ranking.
