Over the past six years, Kenya's ambition to become a global leader in high-quality avocado production and export has gained significant momentum, thanks to the Kenya Crops and Dairy Markets Systems (KCDMS) program.

The initiative, funded by the United States Agency for International Development , has provided support to avocado farmers in 12 different counties.

Damaris Omuka, the Farm Manager at KTL Farming Limited, an avocado producer and exporter in Tranz Nzoia, acknowledged the pivotal role played by KCDMS in the company's success, particularly in the significant improvement of their yields and the doubling of their profit margins. According to Omuka, the financial support from KCDMS significantly contributed to the establishment of a state-of-the-art media center.

Omuka stressed that KCDMS financial assistance has played a crucial role in enabling farmers to acquire top-tier avocado seedlings while also ensuring a competitive market for their produce. BAFA plays a crucial role in advancing avocado production within Bungoma County. The association has contributed to elevating the earnings of avocado farmers and generating employment opportunities within the county.

KCDMS, Ndegwa revealed that it extended its distribution of seedlings to farmers across the entire country, reaching even those in the remotest corners of the region.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
