The quantity of Kenya’s avocado exports to China has increased nearly 10 times in 2023, just a year after exports to the populous Asian country commenced.

Data from Chinese authorities shows the country imported 4,324.1 tonnes of avocados from Kenya last year. This is nearly 10 times the 443.6 tonnes the Asian giant took in 2022.
