Fresh Kenyan avocados sourced from listed agribusiness firm Kakuzi Plc arrived at the largest fresh fruit wholesale market in East China on Thursday morning. The premium fruits which arrived in Shanghai, China, Sunday evening were stocked at the Shanghai Huizhan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market just a day after the inaugural consignment’s phytosanitary and customs clearance.
Kakuzi has completed the import voyage that commenced last week for the inaugural export consignment and has become the first African firm to officially undertake commercial sales of Avocados on Chinese soil.
Kakuzi Plc Managing Director Chris Flowers said the firm’s marketing agents in China-Halls Fresh Produce- had acknowledged the early morning stocking of the Hass Avocado fruits after the mandatory quarantine period.
