STRENGTHENING THE AVOCADO VALUE CHAIN IN KISII AND NYAMIRA

MSEA Kisii, in collaboration with the Kisii County Government, engaged a potential investor, Luck for You Avocado (Smartbridge Distributors Limited), in discussions aimed at strengthening the avocado value chain in Kisii County.

The meeting brought together key county stakeholders and focused on organizing farmers into cooperative structures to improve aggregation, coordination, and market access. The investor committed to supporting farmers with quality seedlings and inputs, while the County Government pledged continued extension services through agricultural officers. Plans were also shared to establish avocado pack houses and an oil processing and refinery plant to boost value addition and create employment opportunities in the region.

The investor further introduced a digital platform to enhance traceability from production to harvest. During a visit to the Kiamokama Cold Storage Facility, the investor identified it as a strategic asset for export logistics, with discussions highlighting the need for upgrades and solarization.

The engagement is expected to strengthen the avocado value chain, empower farmers, and enhance sustainable economic growth in Kisii County.
