Avocados with a lower dry matter have more water content and less flavour. His dogs, who weren't particularly bothered by dry matter content, also loved avocados and tended to eat at least one a day each. There was a very good reason the dry matter threshold was set as it was, he said. Other seasons it may be more like 20 per cent sold locally 80 per cent sold to export.
