And container shipping (in general, maybe not specifically for avocados) is one of the worst polluters due to running on heavy oil & also makes up for a significant portion of world-wide annual CO2 emissions.
I’m not sure about container shipping, but I’heard the same, that even if of course one ship pollute much than one truck, the quantity they move around is so huge that efficiency is incredibly better. So sea mileage VS land mileage aren’t one the same level at all.
I agree with water consumption though, that is a huge problem from what I understand.
