The consignment will include twenty tons of the Hass
avocado variant, destined for Nhava Sheva port.
Chris Flowers, the
managing director, emphasized the significance of this venture into the Indian
market, highlighting it as a strategic move to enhance production capacity and
diversify market opportunities for avocados and macadamias. “The Indian market is very discerning and remains quality conscious, and
we shall seek to deliver the very best of sustainably produced Kenyan
avocados,” Flowers remarked.
This expansion follows Kakuzi’s successful entry into
various global markets, including Europe, China, and the Middle East, with a
notable shipment of Hass avocados to Shanghai, China, and 562 containers to
Europe and China in 2023.
