Meanwhile, farmers in Chile are also looking to cash in on this cash crop by exploring methods for growing avocados on steep hillsides with the help of drones.In Colombia, pollination with bees is being explored as a way to produce higher crop yields, and throughout the world, prices are expected to drop due to the high volume of fruit available with this alternating-year crop's long-awaited "heavy year".While lower prices mean consumers won't have to worry about choosing between their avocado toast and buying a house this harvest season, increased interest in avocado farming mean that opportunities are quickly becoming available to invest in this incredible, profitable crop.Demand keeps increasing with no end in sight, and with new technologies and land available to boost production, it's not too far-fetched to think that investing in avocados might actually help buy a house in the future!
