Product Overview

Hass Avocado is Kenya’s most prized fruit export — renowned globally for its rich, creamy texture, distinct nutty flavor, and high oil content. At Pomona Exporters Limited, we specialize in sourcing, grading, and exporting premium Kenyan Hass Avocados grown in the fertile highlands of Murang’a, Meru, Nyeri, and Kisii.

Kenya’s equatorial sunshine, fertile volcanic soils, and ideal rainfall patterns make it the perfect environment for cultivating world-class avocados with exceptional taste and long shelf life.

Our avocados are sourced directly from GlobalG.A.P. and KEPHIS-certified farms, ensuring traceability, safety, and consistent export quality. Each fruit is harvested at optimal maturity, then cleaned, sorted, and packed in ventilated cartons ready for export to the Netherlands, Europe, the Middle East, and Russia.
