As an European, I never bought bad fruit from Kenya. When I go to the supermarket and I see "Produce of Kenya" I pay the price for that fruit, because I know it is going to be very good.
@@mosesgikeri6750 For bananas it's about 1.5euro/kg and for avocado it's about 1.4-2 euro/piece depending on the size. This are the most common fruits from I Kenya I see in supermarkets here, but not as often as I wish. Due to logistics, East Africa is preferred for (what we call) exotic fruits and South America. However, bananas and avocados produce in Kenya are 10/10 for taste and flavor, incredible each time I buy them. Premium quality, probably the best you can buy here. God bless Africa! God bless Kenya! 🖤❤️💚
Very articulate lady, precise and detailed. Her addressing of the agribusiness side of farming has been very informative. Best wishes from Trinidad and Tobago.
Your inspiration Grace made me to grow 500 trees of hass avocado which are doing very well though they are still young. I intend to visit your farm very soon to learn some few things.all my fruits once they are ready will be exported through your company. Good work and keep up.
Very inspirational. The Kenyan woman is a real hustler - these women are doing what they can for the family. We need to empower our women. This lady will help and uplift her neighbors.
Well done, this is fantastic, especially that you are training surrounding women and encouraging them to sell only when the fruits are mature. Great job!
Thank you for this extremely useful information on avocado plantations. Am seriously considering this project as soon as possible. God bless you Madam 🙏
Grace is one smart lady. I bet she works her rear end off too. We grow chestnuts and pawpaws (in the Midwest of the USA) and she is right. If you focus on having the best, a lot of other things take care of themselves. But, If you don't have failures along the way, you aren't doing much.
Congratulations! And well-done our Sister!! Wish you a successful avocado farming!! It's high time Africans grow produces that benefit our people for a change!!💯👍👏👏❣️
I understand that Afrikan farmers do access foreign markets with raw materials, I would love to see a Value chain in Avocado products, Avacado, oil, cream, soap, paste, and over 20 other products. I love what you do: pls think of Afrikan Markets, it there for you...
If you listened to this lady. You start small before going for bigger things. First you build capital. To get to the next level its capital intensive. Most of avocado is consumed with no value addition
I 👂 your grievance. 🥑 is a superfood and our people are malnourished. I know what 💰 means for the farmer but can we not support one another in Africa too. That time will come I pray. What about those young ladies going to suffer in Saudi Arabia. Here one feels like there are two Kenyas. Raw material, human resource manpower and patience always finds away to export itself to those who are already well looked after. 👍 I am in the uk and avocados are not cheap especially those small green type, so I hope they are paying really well. I will give the international market a vote. Even though they have the worst weather for farming, they demand the best from the 👩🌾 they chose to transact with. A lesson to learn. Make sure you ask to be paid what your work is worth. I 👏you who is affecting change and giving someone hope.May God keep your vision true. 🙏 for supporting mamas.
Hallo Grace, l love your story. I am a young avocado farmer in Nyeri, Othaya with around 80 plants. They're now six months and wish to get in touch with you.
Thank U so much mum for your kind heart and sharing this valuable information.I’m going to give it trial in Rwanda and I will get back to you for advice
Human nature is hard to comprehend. When Grace is giving such an edifying talk on avocado, 33 people give her a thumbs down. My only reservation about this avocado farming, is you cannot profitably do it on 50*100 or quarter acre plot. You need sizeable land, which Karakuta has, already.
Thats a beautiful investment story with good returns. The int'l mrkt is very competitive when it comes 2 quality. For the most part Africa has had challenges with establishing quality standards cuz of lack exposure to the int'l mrkt. Kudos on stepping up the game!! Go get that bag mama!!
Nice video and advice. I have started a small avocado farm and 170 trees in the ground so far and it's been a lot of work. Can't imagine planting 20,000 trees.
Where are you located; I also want to start a small scale avocado farm, and would like to hear from people who are beginners so I can also hear from their experience.
@@nanouekonzo5581 I'm located in northern NSW in Australia. There is definitely a lot to learn about growing avocados. Planted my first trees in 2018 with no prior knowledge and they didn't grow much. I lost a few trees. My trees are growing great now after learning what I should be doing with them.
Yes u can!! U've already started on the journey. Don't sell yoself short. Getting started is the toughest n ur already on the way if 20,000 plants is yo target. Remember that even a journey of 1,000 miles starts from zero. So ur already in motion!
Gongratulstions not only on your professionalism, but also on your vision and community integration. Thank you for making your story public and helping others avoid some of your early battles. Stay strong.
Well done madam. This is very simple to follow. This December my wife Brenda and I are starting a serious Hass Avocado farm. Thanks for the information.
Well done Grace, what a good presented video with facts and you have shown that planting a tree is not enough and the work and the science that goes into this behind the scenes of companies like Kakuzi and Delmonte is detailed. Now everyone can see from your experience how long it takes to grow this business and why those political agitators who want to grab land from kakuzi and Delmonte should be stopped because of the immense help they give farmers like yourself and the export earnings you all make for the country is huge .
Thanks so much. I have about 20 plants I planted few years back amist other trees in my farm but my eyes have been opened by some of the things you shared in this piece. Thanks.
I HAVE JUST STARTED TO FARM MY ONE HECTRE CULTVATION OF AVOCADO TREE WHICH I HAVE GRAFTED MYSELF . I HAVE BENEFITED MUCH FROM YOUR TALK. I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH YOUR VEDEOS.
Congratulations Grace for the presentation of the detailed information on avocado commercial farming you have an awesome spirit and enthusiasm of developing avacado production. I have been desiring to grow avocados on a commercial basis in currently doing my reaserch on suitable areas among other requirements for growing fruits Avocado being my major product . Thanks and thumbs up your open presentation its a morale booster that theres dream companions ready to walk with us in our eandavours .Gods blessings flourish your orchards.
Thank you Grace, I love working in my backyard, I wish I heard known about before buying my seedlings, but I have learned a lesson if not two! God bless you

Will definitely reach out. Thank you for sharing this very inspirational story with the world.
I need to visit this lady to learn morer to see my vision come true
As an European, I never bought bad fruit from Kenya. When I go to the supermarket and I see "Produce of Kenya" I pay the price for that fruit, because I know it is going to be very good.

This is encouraging and inspiring! African women are coming up with innovative ideas and changing the world !
Well done, this is fantastic, especially that you are training surrounding women and encouraging them to sell only when the fruits are mature. Great job!
why does it matter, man or woman? people like you make the world a worse place with your divisive bs. spare me your oppression nonsense.
It doesn't matter the quantity it matters the quality, great point. Need to start soon

African should start practicing commercial farming. Myself I have a small farm and I'm shocked by the high return.
I agree . That is something we need to work towards.
