Kerala's First 'Avocado City' With A 1940s Legacy

Ambalavayal in Wayanad is Kerala's first 'Avocado City,' announced in 2025 by the Agriculture Minister. The village, home to the Regional Agricultural Research Station, has cultivated avocado since the 1940s. An old tree on campus symbolizes this legacy. Wayanad's climate supports the fruit's commercial cultivation, with value-added products being developed.
