Export prices of avocado have risen to Sh800 per four-kilogramme pack in November, propped up demand for the few supplies available in the market as the main crop season dragged to a close.
Data by the Horticulture Directorate shows that the November prices represented a 33.33 per cent jump when compared to a similar month of 2019 when a four-kilo package of the fruit retailed at Sh600 in the export market.
