Low avocado supply has seen processors and exporters pay more for the product. Since June, there has been an upward trend in avocado prices, affecting production costs incurred by processors. Today, 4kg is sold to processors by aggregators and brokers at Ksh. 400 (USD 3.39) compared to two weeks ago when the same quantity was being sourced at Ksh. 350 (USD 2.97). Products sourced from regions like Kisii go for an even higher price at Ksh. 520 (USD 4.4) for the 4kg due to transportation costs.
