The

Start of something good

Our story began when thousands of avocado farmers from Mexico realized the goodness growing from their trees needed to be shared with the world. So in 2013, they forged a historic partnership with importers and distributors in the U.S. to create us – a non-profit marketing organization that spreads the good news about avocados from Mexico. (Hey, that’s our name!) Ever since then, we’ve worked hard to inspire good taste, good health, and good times.

THE ROOTS OF OUR FRUIT

Our parent organizations are the Association of Avocado Exporting Producers and Packers of Mexico
(APEAM) and the Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association (MHAIA). The two entities collectively
represent:

Farmers

APEAM represents more than 34,000 Mexican avocado growers across more than 40,000 orchards.

Packers

There are 84 packing houses in Mexico represented by APEAM.

Importers

Hundreds of importers and distributors in the U.S. are represented by MHAIA.

It was the first time in history that two international organizations came together and, under the
Hass Avocado Promotion Research and Information Order with oversight by the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA), they created a unique company charged with the dual responsibility of promoting a
brand for Mexican avocados and growing the demand of the precious fruit throughout the U.S.

Since then, the company has taken a unique and innovative approach to establishing Avocados From
Mexico as a top U.S. avocado brand by delivering creative ways to not only fuel
America’s appetite for healthy eating, but by also significantly contributing to the economy
through thousands of newly created jobs and billions of dollars in economic output as a result
of U.S. imports of Mexican Hass avocados.

First Draft Ever

For our rookie year, our Big Game ad showed the world's first draft, in which Mexico picks the avocado. The campaign generated 845,105,686 total impressions - that's enough people to fill very seat in America's largest stadium nearly 8,000 times!

2016
Avos in Space

Our second Big Game ad ever revealed that even aliens from outer space love Avocados From Mexico. People on Earth liked the ad, too - during the Big Game, #AvosInSpace was the second-most used hashtag on Twitter.

AvoSecrets

Turns out that even the most secret of societies can't keep the secret that avocados contain good fats. Our third Big Game campaign generated nearly 4 billion total impressions, our best year yet at the time.

The future can only be a utopia as long as you have avocados, as seen in our fourth Big Game campaign. For the first time, our campaign came in first (up from second) overall in Merkle's Digital Bowl Report and #GuacWorld was the most-used hashtag on Twitter during the game.

2021
Guac Bowl Stadium

We invited fans to Make the Big Game Their Bowl Game, with our first ever in-store celebrity shopper engagement program. And, we brought the Big Game stadium experience directly to fans with the launch of the Virtual Guac Bowl Stadium that received 1.9MM page views! It was the most successful digital campaign ever for the Big Game.

2022
Colosseum Tailgate

It’s Always Good when you add Avocados From Mexico, even at an Ancient Roman pre-game party. Online, we launched the digital “House of Goodness” and our biggest multichannel shoppable campaign to-date.

Adam & Eve

Holy Guacamole! We proved avocados really do make everything better, from the Garden of Eden to the “Big Avocado.” This year’s PR campaign featured a first-ever live ad reveal on the TODAY Show.
