Successful Forum with Murang’a Avocado Farmers – December 2, 2024

KNCCI Muranga Chapter in collaboration with Equity Bank, hosted a fruitful forum that brought together over 150 avocado farmers from the Murang’a County Avocado Farmers Union. This group currently has over 15,000 tonnes of avocado ready for the market and plays a significant role in Kenya’s avocado export success.

Discussions focused on expanding market access through KNCCI’s international networks, including China and AfCFTA markets, financial solutions for farmers, with Equity Bank offering tailored financing options, advocacy on promoting favorable regulatory environment for the farmers registered under the Union, value addition to reduce post-harvest losses, and capacity building on export readiness.

KNCCI is committed to empowering Murang’a farmers to scale up production, access global markets, and boost profitability.
