'Avocado Gangs' Meet Vigilantes In Kenya

It is interesting that it has descended into theft and violence. Normally increased demand triggers new suppliers to enter into the market, as described in the article Mr. Mburugu removed his tea plantation in favour of avocado orchards a few years ago. Still, interesting to see the knock on effects in such countries of foods fashionable in Europe and America.
 
I heard about this happening in Mexico a couple of years ago. I did however have one of the best avocados I've ever had last night.
