Kakuzi PLC has become one of the first local entities to secure approval from the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), to process and prepare export-grade fresh avocados for the Chinese market.
Kakuzi says the KEPHIS approval follows a stringent phytosanitary audit of their extensive farms & packhouse. The approval comes hot on the heels of the recent signing of two bilateral trade protocols to facilitate the export of fresh avocados & aquatic products from Kenya to China.
“At the Makuyu facility and Orchards, we maintain world-class phytosanitary standards for our exports to Europe, and the KEPHIS approval further serves to underscore our quality commitments,” says Kakuzi MD Chris Flowers
