Meet Grace a marketer who left employment to “pluck” her money off avocado trees Three years later, she has planted 20,000 trees of the Hass Avocado variety. Did you know that you shouldn’t dig a hole to plant an avocado seedling? Find out how you should plant, and other important avocado husbandry practices you must implement for you to get quality fruit and in good quantities, which translates to better prices! Also, find out how Grace manages to keep her operations going, given the seasonality of the avocado!! For those aspiring avocado farmers, this is a must-watch she “hass” so much to share, and yes! The time “hass” come for me to remind you to share the link too. Happy Easter!

As an European, I never bought bad fruit from Kenya. When I go to the supermarket and I see "Produce of Kenya" I pay the price for that fruit, because I know it is going to be very good.

Thank you, how much do they retail per Kg or the units you use there.

@dncviorel 3 жыл бұрын

@@mosesgikeri6750 For bananas it's about 1.5euro/kg and for avocado it's about 1.4-2 euro/piece depending on the size. This are the most common fruits from I Kenya I see in supermarkets here, but not as often as I wish. Due to logistics, East Africa is preferred for (what we call) exotic fruits and South America. However, bananas and avocados produce in Kenya are 10/10 for taste and flavor, incredible each time I buy them. Premium quality, probably the best you can buy here. God bless Africa! God bless Kenya! 🖤❤️💚

Grace is one smart lady. I bet she works her rear end off too. We grow chestnuts and pawpaws (in the Midwest of the USA) and she is right. If you focus on having the best, a lot of other things take care of themselves. But, If you don't have failures along the way, you aren't doing much.

I 👂 your grievance. 🥑 is a superfood and our people are malnourished. I know what 💰 means for the farmer but can we not support one another in Africa too. That time will come I pray. What about those young ladies going to suffer in Saudi Arabia. Here one feels like there are two Kenyas. Raw material, human resource manpower and patience always finds away to export itself to those who are already well looked after. 👍 I am in the uk and avocados are not cheap especially those small green type, so I hope they are paying really well. I will give the international market a vote. Even though they have the worst weather for farming, they demand the best from the 👩‍🌾 they chose to transact with. A lesson to learn. Make sure you ask to be paid what your work is worth. I 👏you who is affecting change and giving someone hope.May God keep your vision true. 🙏 for supporting mamas.
