Sanmark Ltd., a Chinese-owned avocado oil processing company, boasts state-of-the-art machinery for processing and testing avocado oil to ensure it attains the required standards for export to China and other overseas markets such as Europe and the United States.
Starting from May 1, China fully implemented a zero-tariff policy for 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations. Kenya is the leading producer of avocado in Africa and among the top six producers globally. The policy promises better times for all players in the avocado value chain in Kenya. (Xinhua/Xie Jianfei)
