Exporters: Immature avocado harvests tainting Kenya’s image
Stakeholders in the avocado value chain are now calling for stern measures to be taken against individuals involved in harvesting of immature avocados in the country. The Avocado Exporters Association of Kenya says culprits should be charged with economic sabotage, as the practice costs the country billions of shillings in revenues.

This is long over due.
We have machines that test maturity of both avocados and mangoes@ fnscintific Kenya.
The African ..inherently lazy , lacks dicipline, incompetent….any where you go
Buy the “ripe at home” avocados at your own risk. They will never get ripe.
We grow avocado in Kenya to only have a bad experience as consumers in UK. SHAME!
So is it some farmers that pick them too early in Kenya? And why do they do it? Or is it to avoid them getting eaten by animals, like I worry about and therefore I pick mine earlier. My entire pear tree was emptied 1-2 weeks before the pears were entirely ripe. My mango tree bore fruit but those also disappeared.
I have an avocado tree planted about 5 years ago and this year finally bore fruit. Mine are Hass and I’m picking them early as a neighbor has scared me that squirrels will eat my avocados. I find that they ripen just fine once in room temp and taste fine too. May e a different variety of avocado ripen on the trees. Mine I don’t think do.
Finally… It is a real disappontment . 2€ na unapata imeoza ndani na vile imebandikwa jina vizuri "avocat du Kenya" 😅..heri nibuy za chile!
Being greedy hv just thrown two pieces i bought last week toll now they're not ripe instead they are getting rotten.
That's true not only avocado but also mango……no one can accept anything from Kenya even my friends usually laugh @ our product kindly..,..let not value quick cash but current correct flow of cash for long period # Kenya like short cuts
Sai ata wakenya wenye ku export vitu nchi za njee wajue pia Kuna nchii zingine zinaleta vitu like India Morocco Egypt sasa wajue wanaeza kujiaribia soko
Very true kama huku Qatar Doha unapata from Kenya but ni chungu aina utamu which means Wana tumana vitu zenye azija kua tayari
Those exporting the immature fruits have connections in high places and are usually freed after calls are made to OCPDs to have them released
that why I stop buying UAE, avocado from Kenya its not good thats why the price 3times less price avocado from other country
the ovocados i eat here in US are harvested before due time and they have high water content that ruins the taske and give them short shelf life! kenyans in kenya should know better
But I thought they are checked
Kenya ni jaba watu vichwa mbaya 😂
Kama moses kuria ndio mkubwa wa hii !! ni nini ya ujinga mutakosa kusia hapa ?? wakenya mtaamuka kupiga kura mutatumia akili si kutumia githeri man means
Greed and impatience are the main problem. Secondly, some of these avocados are probably stolen from the farms.
Cancel Central Kenya…tamaa mbaya
Shida ya Kenyans huwa nini? Shortcuts everywhere. You get a good market, you then spoil things.
IT'S SHAMEFUL. I SAW THEM IN OMAN AND SAUDI ARABIA. THEY ARE TINY AND WRINKLED. GREED FOR MBESHA, MBESHA AND MORE MBESHA.
I'm not a farmer but I know the leading factor is theft of the avocados in the farms😂😂
Let them lose the market and learn the hard way. Greed itatumaliza
Kenyans at home think that their cunning behavior is a flex.
Its so sad . And these guys knows this. If you cannot eat it do not sell it.
