The Kenyan Avocado Industry
Kenya avocado is one of the most popular fruits, primarily among commercial farmers although there are other Kenya’s top exports. The avocado industry in Kenya has been proliferating in recent years due to increasing demand from overseas markets. This has been a boon for the Kenyan economy, as the avocado industry is now one of the country’s biggest export earners.
Kenyan farmers grow two avocados:
1.Hass avocado
2. Fuerte avocado.
The Hass variety is the most popular avocado in Kenya, accounting for around 80 percent of total production.
While the Hass Avocado variety has the meaty and buttery texter, the Fuerte Avocado variety is fruitier and sweeter.
The Fuerte Avocado variety is more watery than the Hass Avocado variety. This makes the Fuerte variety to have a less creamy taste when compared to the Hass Variety.
It is therefore very important to consider the differences between our Avocado varieties while sourcing for avocados from Kenya.
