As the first African country to export fresh avocados to China, Kenya exported avocados worth 7 billion shillings to China in the three months from August to October this year, equivalent to about 397 million yuan.

On June 1 this year, Kenyan fresh avocados were approved to export to China. In early August, the first trial batch of avocados arrived in Shanghai by air. At the end of August, the first batch of 45 tons of avocados officially exported arrived in Shanghai by sea.

Kenya's Export Promotion and Branding Agency stated that China is the main market for Kenya's fresh and frozen avocados. The avocado market is estimated to be worth $15.5 billion by 2022.

In 2019, Kenyan frozen avocados were admitted to China. In 2020, Kenya only exported one 20-foot container of frozen avocados to China. After the access to fresh avocados, Kenya's avocado exports to China developed rapidly.
