    The document includes presentations by experts at the 27 to 29 April 1999 regional consultation on popularising avocado production in Asia-Pacific countries. Delegates from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam were present at the meeting. Still an exotic and expensive fruit in Asia-Pacific countries, the avocado can be highly useful in combating widespread malnutrition in the region. The avocado is rich in Vitamins E, C and A and known for it s high quality protein content. It can also be a superior weaning food for babies. There are only a few avocado plantations in some countries in the region though the fruit has great commercial possibilities which need to be recognised by governments and growers in Asia and the Pacific.
