Kenya might face low earnings as drought could affect 40 percent of avocado crop
Kenya’s horticulture sector is facing low earnings this year from avocado exports as 40 percent of the fruits have been affected by the ongoing drought even as the export market opens next week. Exporters will be forced to pack at least 24 fruits in order to fill one carton because of the smaller size, as opposed to 16, which is normally ideal when the produce is of the right size.
