Kenya eyes ripening avocado market in China

China Daily  

Kenya's avocado sector is seeking improved cooperation with China in food safety to expand exports to the lucrative market. But many have failed to meet the strict food safety standards set by Chinese importers, and this has been a major hurdle for expanding Kenyan avocado exports to China, Muthomi Ernest, CEO of the Avocado Society of Kenya, said at the 4th International Africa Avocado Congress in Kenya's capital Nairobi. "I believe we can work together with them in ensuring that our avocado fruits meet their food safety standards and also help in reducing the cost of export to China," he said. Jonathon Kipruto, assistant general manager of agricultural company Kakuzi, said despite the European Union being the biggest market for Kenya's avocado exports, China is a huge untapped market.
