Avocado traders have said they will only export produce that meets global standards. This follows the lifting of a temporary ban by Kenya’s Agriculture and Food Authority. Selina Wamucii Ltd chief executive officer John Oroko yesterday said the ban had affected small-scale avocado growers and exporters. shortageLast month, the government imposed a ban on the export of all fuerte and hass varieties due to a shortage in the country. “The temporary ban was a wake-up call for exporters to stop them shipping immature fruit to the world market,” Oroko said.
