Rwanda to expand avocado exports by sea as initial shipment proved successful
Rwanda is set to continue its trial of avocado exports by sea freight after a successful initial shipment to Dubai in November, last year. The pilot shipment, which transported nearly 23 tons of Hass avocados, demonstrated that sea transportation was over 44 percent cheaper than air cargo. The avocados were delivered to Carrefour hypermarket in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
