Green Avocados: A viable option for agribusinessmen

[Jack_Black]

Sells for about 30 bob each at the local market, making about Kshs 2,700 per 90kg bag. Hass variety will make double or triple that when exported.

Quite amusing hearing tugeges rambling about no economic value after going past Nakuru.

Yes, there’s an inspection process to ensure the fruit meets minimum standards (shape, colour, freshness) but it’s done in the fresh produce section of the airport, where KRA agents are also stationed. It’s why tugeges are so up in arms coz their middlemen can’t squeeze 5 bobs and 10 bobs out of farmer’s sweat.
