Questions importers ask

Common questions

What is the Kenyan avocado season?

Kenyan Hass is typically harvested from around March to October, with the regulator opening and closing the export season on maturity, and Green skin varieties come earlier. Availability is confirmed in each offer.

Do you supply fresh produce all year?

Across our East African origins there is avocado in most months, with lean periods between seasons. Other fresh produce is seasonal or sourced on request. We do not promise year round supply; we confirm availability per offer.

Who inspects the fruit before shipment?

Fruit Quality Studio Africa is our independent preloading QC partner at origin. The report is shared with the buyer before departure, and arrival inspection is coordinated between Konza Tropicals and the buyer.
