Why avocados
The category case is simple: European demand keeps growing, Kenya's exports have grown year on year for a decade, and since July 2024 Kenyan fruit enters the EU duty-free.
It helps that the fruit earns its keep on nutrition, not just novelty. A Hass avocado carries more potassium than a banana, alongside folate, fibre and vitamins E, K, C and B6 — almost all of its fat monounsaturated, and none of it cholesterol. That profile is what keeps the demand curve climbing.
Built to travel.
A thick, pebbled skin and dense, high-oil flesh — Hass ships better than any variety we grow.
Three varieties, one standard
