Growing

Climate and Soil Requirements: Avocados thrive in Kenya’s tropical climate, with temperatures ranging between 20°C and 30°C. The fertile, well-drained soils in regions like Murang’a, Nyeri, and Meru provide ideal conditions for avocado cultivation.

Cultivation Practices: Farmers use sustainable farming methods, including organic fertilizers, integrated pest management, and efficient irrigation systems to ensure healthy tree growth and high-quality fruit.

Maturity Monitoring: Avocados are carefully monitored to determine the optimal harvest time. This ensures the fruit reaches the right dry matter content (a key indicator of ripeness and quality) before picking.

Harvesting

Selective Picking: Avocados are hand-picked to avoid bruising or damage. Only mature, healthy fruits are harvested, ensuring consistent quality.

Timing: Harvesting is done early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid exposure to extreme heat, which can affect the fruit’s quality.

Handling: Workers use gloves and soft tools to minimize damage to the fruit. The avocados are gently placed into padded baskets or crates to prevent bruising.

Post-Harvest Handling

Sorting and Grading: After harvesting, the avocados are transported to packing houses, where they are sorted by size, weight, and quality. Only premium-grade avocados are selected for export.

Cleaning and Sanitization: The fruits are washed with clean water and sanitized to remove any dirt, pests, or residues. This step ensures compliance with international food safety standards.

Pre-Cooling: Avocados are pre-cooled to remove field heat and extend shelf life. This step is critical to maintaining freshness during transportation.

Transportation

Refrigerated Containers: Avocados are transported in temperature-controlled containers (reefers) set at 4°C to 6°C. This maintains the fruit’s freshness and slows down ripening during transit.

Efficient Logistics: Exporters work with reliable logistics partners to ensure timely delivery. Avocados are transported by road to the port of Mombasa and then shipped to international markets, primarily in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Monitoring: Temperature and humidity levels are continuously monitored throughout the journey to ensure optimal conditions are maintained.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

Certifications: Kenyan avocado exporters adhere to international standards such as GlobalGAP, HACCP, and Fair Trade. These certifications ensure the fruit meets quality, safety, and ethical requirements.

Inspections: Before export, avocados undergo rigorous inspections by the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) to ensure they are free from pests and diseases and meet phytosanitary standards.

Final Delivery: The avocados are then distributed to supermarkets, wholesalers, and other markets, ready for consumers to enjoy.

Protective Packaging

To safeguard avocados during transit, we employ advanced packaging techniques:

Single-Layer Cartons: Avocados are packed in sturdy, single-layer cartons to minimize pressure on the fruit and maintain structural integrity.

Cushioning Materials: Each avocado is individually wrapped in foam nets, trays, or paper liners to prevent bruising and movement during transportation.

Optimal Stacking: Cartons are carefully stacked to reduce shifting and avoid damage during storage or transit.
