Overview
- Guinness World Records judge Alfredo Arista Rueda certified the guacamole after on‑site verification of weight and hygiene rules at the Estadio Panamericano de Charros, which took place on Thursday.
- The final weight was 12,646 kilograms, a mark that clearly exceeded the prior 6.8‑tonne record set earlier this year in Tancítaro, Michoacán.
- More than 600 producers, packers and volunteers plus over 300 gastronomy students worked with an organizer count of more than 90,000 avocados to prepare the dish, which was then shared with about 9,000 attendees and donated to food banks and municipal DIFs.
- Jalisco officials framed the event as a coordinated agro‑promotion meant to boost the state’s avocado brand and said they will pursue expanded sales in markets such as the United States, Canada, Japan and South Korea.
- The stunt sits against a broader picture in which Mexico supplies roughly 30% of the world’s avocados, Michoacán supplies about 75% of national output and Jalisco roughly 10%, a balance that officials say they hope to shift by increasing market visibility for local producers.
