Our Flagship Product

Fresh Avocados & Avocado Oil

Kenya is among Africa's leading avocado exporters, and GAAPL is at the forefront — growing, processing, and exporting premium Hass and Fuerte avocados with full traceability from farm to pack-house. Built to handle bulk volumes, avocados are the heartbeat of our operation. We supply fresh avocados directly to importers, retailers, and food-service buyers across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia (China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India & more) — and we also cold-press premium Avocado Oil in bulk and retail formats from the same high-grade fruit.

Why Kenyan Avocados?

Kenya's highland growing zones — particularly in Muranga, Kirinyaga, and Nakuru — offer a unique altitude-driven terroir (1,200–2,000 m above sea level) that produces avocados with exceptional dry matter content, superior oil levels, and a longer natural shelf life than fruit from many competing origins. Combined with Kenya's proximity to European markets via direct airfreight, Kenyan avocados deliver freshness that buyers consistently rank above alternatives.
