A first shipment of pineapples from Kenya will leave the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for Israel on June 1. According to Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi, Kenya had signed a deal with the Jewish State that will see all Kenyan goods that are admissible in the European Union access the Israel market.
“We have managed to secure markets for our tea, coffee, avocado and pineapple. In fact, on June 1, 2023, we will get the first cargo plane to Israel to export pineapples,” Mr Linturi told the National Assembly’s Committee on Agriculture.
Kenya's avocado exports are mainly to China, which reached Sh7 billion in the three months to October 2022, according to the Directorate of Horticulture.
