Fresh Produce
East Africa's highland and coastal regions produce some of the world's most commercially sought-after fresh produce. We source directly from grower networks and cooperatives, screening for GAP compliance, pack-house standards, cold-chain capability, and phytosanitary readiness before we commit any supply.
Avocados are a flagship category: Hass, Fuerte, and Pinkerton across export seasons, with grading, packing, and fumigation coordinated to EU, UK, Middle East, and Asian import standards.
