The Super Bowl may not be a blessing for Avocado farmers in Mexico. You see, thousands of Mexicans have been killed as a direct result of "Futbol Americano de la NFL" y el Super Bowl?
Believe it or not, ti is true. The Super Bowl means guacamole and guacamole means avocados and avocados mean mexican drug cartels cutting into avocado farmer profits in Michoacan. Unfortunately, this often involved the drug dealers cutting directly into avocado farmers.
"The pie has gotten bigger and everyone can easily have a slice," Jose Luis Obregon, director of the Hass avocado board said. "If you are successful, you are a target."
Here is the story I found on Reuters. Avocado farmers can make over $150,000 a year from sales and their sales peak during the Super Bowl, so now is the time to get into the Avocado busines. I guess the Drug Cartels want to have some legitimate side jobs to launder their money
