Rwanda could become the next international player in avocado exports with volumes projected at 16,000MT per year by 2026, from the current export volume of 2,765MT in the 2021/22 season. Agriculture is the backbone of Rwanda's economic activities with 72% of Rwanda's working population employed in farming and related activities. In addition, the increase in fruit and vegetable exports in Rwanda is mainly driven by avocados, green beans, bird-eye chillies, and habanero chillies.
