In a strategic pivot, Kenyan avocado producers are increasingly targeting the Chinese market, leveraging the Kenya Ports Authority's (KPA) logistical support to tap into a potential consumer base exceeding 1.4 billion. This move comes as Kenya commenced avocado exports to China in August 2022, following prolonged negotiations, witnessing a significant uptick in trade volumes. According to Chinese customs data, Kenya's avocado shipments to China saw a tenfold increase in 2023, with imports escalating to 4,324.1 tonnes from 443.6 tonnes the previous year. The surge is attributed to the high-quality Hass avocados produced by farms like Acacia, which meet both Chinese market and European Union standards.
