Kenya is set to resume avocado exports in two weeks after a four-month suspension imposed by the Agricultural Food Authority (AFA) to ensure the maturity and quality of the fruit. However, the sea exports of Fuerte and Hass varieties will remain restricted to size code 20 (184 grams) until the open export window begins.
