About the Hass Avocado Board
The Hass Avocado Board (HAB) was established in 2002. Today over 20,000 producers and 100 importers are involved in HAB, which covers fresh domestic and imported Hass avocados sold in the U.S. market. The Avocado Nutrition Center (ANC) was established by HAB in 2010 to increase awareness and improve understanding of the unique positive benefits of avocados to human health and nutrition. The Hass avocado research studies and symposium were supported by HAB and are part of a multi-year effort that aims to build a strong, scientific foundation for the nutritional benefits of avocados.
