Overview of the Avocado sector in Kenya
Although Kenya's commercial production of avocado began only 40 years ago, avocados are now estimated to be the fourth most important national fruit crop, behind only to banana, mango and pineapple. Moreover, avocados have grown to represent 17% of Kenya's total horticultural exports.
Kenya ranks as one of the largest avocado exporters in the world (11th in 2014) and has experienced rapid growth in exports over the last decade. Avocados are produced commercially in seven different provinces of Kenya. 70% of the avocados are grown by smallholder farmers who have 5-20 trees per homestead, 20% by medium scale farmers who have over 100 trees and 10% from commercial plantations which have 10 hectares or more in production.
Avocados in Kenya: what’s holding back smallholder farmers
Kenya is the world’s third largest
producer of avocados. It’s also Kenya’s leading fruit export, accounting for nearly
one-fifth of its total horticultural exports.
But Kenya only exports
10% of its total avocado production. By
comparison, Chile exports 55% and South Africa exports 60%.
