Kenya To The World Ep3; Exporting Kenya's Frozen Avocados: A First for Africa

[@motosana1]

Good to see the gentleman from Sunripe. True they have been at this for the longest time. In the 90s they were top exporters and top clients of an European airline I worked for. Talk of CONSISTENCY!

[@Utadowot]

I hope all those cut stems don't go to waste! They are healthy and delicious including skim wiki stems

[@ebtisamali359]

I love how creative Kenyans are !

[@silvian.4040]

I am a Finance Graduate but the one venture I want is to export fruits as well. Agriculture is lucrative and there is so much potential for it, our youths are just mesmerized by white collar jobs, to see how much the farming industry has to offer. Even the President is a farmer, my grandparents raised their families on earnings from farming despite being business people and a teacher. Let's diversify our sources of income.

Wow great thanks kenya 🇰🇪

[@mozvidz]

Great content, but I wish at times you'd ask the more pressing questions, just to be sure they're doing right by our people & land. He says they plant so many trees which is good for the environment, but what he's not saying is that on average, one needs 2,000 liters of water (about 528 gallons of water) to produce a kilo of avocados. So how much water is being starved from the locals, and being channelled to his farm?

[@TheMrgoodmanners]

To be frank I would rather we use the land we have to produce food than to build those ugly houses you see in Kenyan towns. But ur ryt on this one,such disclosures are good but industrial farming is also a water intense exercise

[@motosana1]

The question should be how much water are we exporting and depleting our water table? Exporting fruits, flowers, vegetables etc creates massive carbon footprint. Makes zero sense to call it organic and then proceed to ruin the environment by depleting the water table and pollution caused in transport and packaging (in plastic I noted or even boxes means trees have been cut),

[@annuzamo1586]

I hope the workers are played well too because that fruit is soo expensive in abroad

[@SalamaAfro]

@@annuzamo1586 As long as one is a WORKER they will never ever feel 'paid-enough'. The cost of the product where you buy it is determined by transportation, storage, wages/salaries, shelf/vendor space and taxes at both ends - export and import market so expensive is relative.

[@motosana1]

Excellent. The Government of Kenya should provide free SGR transportation and handling to Mombasa port for 15 years to spur growth. Gok should also reduce corporate tax for all Agribusiness to 7.5% for 25years and Vat to 5 % for all inputs. All workers in the sector should be excepted from paye for atleast 8 months a year and given free NHIF cover to encourage more investments in the sector. Considering we have surplus power production, this sector should be given free power consumption at all their points of production and handling. Kenya Airways should also be given concessions to offer subsidized rates of upto 45% recouped through taxation obligations to KRA for atleast 9 months a year.

looks like the company grows the produce themselves in Kenya. How is employing people slavery when its their choice to work for you and they get paid for it? Some people prefer being employees coz it means steady source of income.

@@cybertroy2I don't dispute the fact that they are creating employment, as you can read on some part of the comments, "this company pays people poorly" Loosely said, Employment is not a steady source of income but farming those produce is because they seem obviously to be having a steady market, and obviously they are middle-men. I believe if they could open to the farmers to deliver produce it could be fair to the economy
