Avocado Varieties
There are Two Main Types of Avocados Exported from Kenya.
The African Avocado, a variety grown in warm climates such as Africa and South-east Asia, is a creamy fruit containing healthful fatty acids. Avocado trees require tropical or subtropical climate because they can’t tolerate either freezing or extreme heat. Kenya’s climate is perfectly suited for avocado farming because it lies at the equator. Avocados thrive in Kenya because different areas experience either equatorial or tropical climates. Exotic to the rest of the world, avocados are a very common fruit in Africa. Kenyan avocados are famous and highly sought after. The majority of Kenya’s exported avocados are Hass and Fuerte varieties. From the farms, the fruit is sent straight to pack houses where it is processed and parked, ready to ship. Hass avocados from Kenya have a stronger rich taste than other avocados and are crispier. They are harvested when the skin turns dark and the inside is white-green. The trees for this specific breed is semi spreading, with climate conditions being subtropical climates in Kenya.
Avocados are a popular ingredient in many different dishes because of their creamy texture and strong flavor.
