More than an exhibition
A permanent digital ecosystem for the continent's avocado value chain.
Avocado Africa is convened by the Avocado Society of Kenya together with regional and international partners. Beyond the annual congress, it is the reference point for market intelligence, technical knowledge, trade connections and industry news across Africa.
The Avocado Africa 2027 edition is themed “Avocado Africa: A convergence of technology and business for increased competitiveness and trade”, drawing stakeholders from across the world to Nairobi — while this platform keeps the industry connected in between.
