Avocado Exporters in Meru
Agrotronics Horticulture sources Hass avocados from Meru County's highland farms for export through our Nairobi packhouse.
Meru County, on the eastern and northern slopes of Mount Kenya, is one of Kenya's fastest-growing Hass avocado regions, with farms typically 4 to 5 hours by road from Agrotronics Horticulture's Nairobi packhouse and JKIA export hub.
Growing Profile
Meru's high altitude, volcanic soils and favourable rainfall have driven rapid expansion of commercial and smallholder Hass avocado farming in recent years, making it an increasingly significant contributor to Kenya's avocado export volumes.
Meru County, spanning the eastern and northern slopes of Mount Kenya, has seen rapid growth in commercial and smallholder Hass avocado farming in recent years. Its high altitude, volcanic soils and favourable rainfall make it well suited to the variety, and Meru is now a significant contributor to Kenya’s avocado export volumes.
Given the distance from Nairobi, maintaining the cold chain during transport is especially important for fruit sourced from Meru. Agrotronics Horticulture brings harvested avocados from Meru to our Nairobi packhouse for grading, packaging and export.
