Questions buyers and clients ask

Common questions

Do you grow your own avocados?

Yes. Our Hass and Green-skin avocados are grown on our own 200 hectare commercial plantations in the Rift Valley of Kenya and in our production programmes in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, which extend the season to the whole year. We harvest with our own crews and pack under our own programme.

Which products can you supply and when?

Hass and Green-skin avocados, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, coconut, fresh herbs and chillies, dried and freeze dried fruit, frozen avocado, macadamia nuts, purees and concentrates, and crude, extra virgin and refined avocado oil. Across our East African origins there is fruit in every month, but each product has peak and lean windows; the season calendar on the exports page shows them, and availability is confirmed in each offer.

How do you control quality before a container sails?

Dry matter is tested before harvest and pulp temperature before loading by our own team, and Fruit Quality Studio Africa inspects every consignment at the packhouse and issues a preloading QC report that the buyer receives before departure.

What does the consultancy division do?

Export readiness assessments, licensing and certification (GLOBALG.A.P., GRASP, organic, HACCP, BRCGS), market intelligence and buyer databases, B2B matchmaking at trade fairs, commercial advisory, trade finance and investment planning, and training for exporters, processors and development programmes across East Africa.

Where do you ship to?

Europe, the GCC and Middle East, Turkey, India, China, Far East Asia and North America, by sea from Mombasa and Dar es Salaam and by air from Nairobi.
