Our Story

A decade of building reliable export partnerships

What began as a small avocado consolidation operation in 2014 has grown into a multi-product agricultural export company shipping to 20+ countries. Throughout that growth, one thing has stayed constant: every container leaves our warehouse only after passing the same QC bar we set on day one.

Today we work directly with over 300 partner farms across Kenya's prime growing regions, and we handle every stage of the export chain in-house — sourcing, grading, packaging, documentation and shipping.

Why Kenya

A unique combination of altitude, climate & expertise

Kenya's high-altitude growing regions — the Aberdares, Mt Kenya slopes, Kericho highlands and Nyeri — produce some of the world's most flavourful tea and coffee, and Hass avocados with industry-leading oil content. Generations of farming expertise combined with modern agronomy give buyers consistent, high-quality lots.

  • Equatorial sunlight + altitude = denser flavour profiles
  • Two avocado harvest windows extending supply nine months a year
  • Direct sea route via Mombasa to Europe, Middle East, Asia
  • Strong regulatory framework (KEPHIS, KEBS, HCDA)
