About this product

Fresh avocados, grown and packed in Kajiado

Kadal Fresh supplies Hass and Fuerte avocados during the Kenyan season, which runs from March to November. Maturity is checked by dry matter testing before harvest, and fruit is graded and packed to the calibre you order.

Avocados travel in reefer containers from the Port of Mombasa for programmed volumes, or by air from Nairobi for smaller and faster orders.

Handling

Handling and transport

For sea shipments we agree the container settings, including controlled atmosphere where you require it, before loading. Transit time depends on the shipping line and the route at the time of booking, so we confirm it with each programme.

Paperwork

Traceability and documents

Cartons carry a lot code that links the product to the field, harvest date and pack line. Each consignment travels with the commercial documents your market requires. Phytosanitary certificates are issued by KEPHIS, the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service, where the destination requires one.

Certification

What our certificate covers

Avocado is listed on the current GLOBALG.A.P. certificate held by Kadal Swift Freight Limited (Integrated Farm Assurance for fruit and vegetables, valid to 3 September 2027). A copy of the certificate is available to buyers on request. Not every destination accepts every variety or origin, so we confirm market access for your country before we quote.
