ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Minute: On avocado thefts
Farmers are taking increasingly drastic measures to protect their increasingly valuable avocado crop. In New Zealand, the fruit has doubled in value in five years resulting in thefts during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. In Mexico's "avocado capital of the world", a vigilante force has been set up to protect both the harvest and farm staff.
