Long-Term Drought Reduced the Quality and Productivity of Short-Season Kenyan Avocado

The short season of Hass avocado in Kenya is usually expected to run between October and November every year. Exporters are reporting the 2022 short avocado season to be of poor quality caused by a prolonged drought in most parts of the avocado growing regions, leading to small yields and small sizes. Suppliers can ship between sizes 24 and 32. The CIF price in W41 for Hass avocados to Mersin Port, Turkey, stands at USD 17/10kg box.
