Kenyan Growers Increase Avocado Supply to European Markets
What happened
Kenyan growers are now supplying avocados to European markets, with Germany being identified as a key destination for the produce. The organic avocado market has grown by about 18% last year, though it remains much smaller than the conventional market. Growers in Kenya, including Kuzo Growers and Mavuno, are scaling up production for export to Europe.

Why it matters
The supply increase is targeting significant growth potential in Europe, where demand for organic avocados is rising. While retailers and discounters are expanding their organic lines, price pressure remains a challenge due to the heavy promotion of conventional products. Eosta, a Dutch company, notes that growers are able to meet demand in Europe.
