Just found your page today, by chance. Great video, very informative. I will be going through your past videos, this is the types of information we need as young ambitious Africans. Thank you Sir and yes I have proudly subscribed😎
Wow, I am so so happy by your appraisal. It's all what we need to keep producing. Thanks Dickson. 🙏🙏
Me too , but by luck
Hello sir.
I need avacodo plants in India.
Price,age of plants other ditels
whereas avocado farming can be lucrative there a few things i would like to point out.
1- Quality grafted Hass seeds will start fruiting after 18 to 24 months. Farmers therefore have to be patient.
2- You really dont need bees since the trees can cross pollinate. You can add Fuerte variety which does help in pollination and increase yield. The strategy of adding bee hives might also bring reveune from honey.
3- You need the local variety to plant the seed and use it as root stock fror Hass and Fuerte.
4- You need enough rainfall or invest in irrigation to succeed in avocado investment.
5- Weeds might compete with avocados and even introduce pests. But they do not affect photosynthesis. sunlight + water+ carbon =photosynthesis.
6- For farmers to benefit in avocado investment they have to consider permaculture which allows farmers to intercrop avocado with other crops suchs beans, coffees, vegies and other fruit trees.
this one must be kenyan
Good info. I was thinking about doing avocados 😊and a few other super foods. ❤❤❤
thanks so much brother you seem so knowledgeable with this trade ill keep intouch if you mind
This is really helpful, thank you so much.
Thanks alot David for the helpful information.
To be honest avocados though being a super fruit and considered one of the healthy foods around. However, most farmers in Central and South America will tell you that avocado farms put a strain on the natural environment such as water scarcity and monoculture. Most of these farms are used to sell the fruit to stores in Europe and they don't pay a substantial cost for the fruit from these farmers, thus tend to lead to bad farming practices in these regions of the world. I am not against this but I would implore that anything that is being done must be examined with real care and not just to looking to exploit lands and natural resources for the sake of money.
Thanks for your observation my friend. Heavy water consumption seems to be the downside. I also learnt from another source, that the price in Europe is not the best. Surprisingly, China seems to be one of the best places to sell avocado. The US market is also very profitable. The idea of avocado farming in this video was to produce in Africa. the cost of production in Africa is very low and returns on investment is very high, The African population is increasing very fast, I mean really fast and so is demand. The price of avocado has more than doubled. The best part is, Africa has good climate for avocado to flourish. however as you said, it should be done respecting the environment. That is a very important aspect.
I'm glad you mention almost all the negatve attributed things from Avacadoes famerming which many peoples are not aware of... having Recentrt watche a Doccumentary about Chile on the same topic I can't agree more ...Thanks Respresemting Kenya London Locked.

Me as a kid in Nigeria growing up playing football with avocado 🥑, and now as an adult outside Nigeria paying so much to get my hands on some over fertilized and preserved avocados 😢
I remember those, I usually do sweep them off our compound every morning.
Sweet memories. I am glad you recounted this. many people would relate just I do. Thanks
My stupid Bro actually cut off some good specie of avocado trees. The fruits were the size of half a child's head. Today same fruit is gold.
I love this i have almost 200 avocados in Zimbabwe i have potted them for 3 years now and i am planning to plant them now
Wow great, You are a future millionaire, feel it.
Congratulations Kezziet
Yes will see if its not canada which is taking these African avocados because of their big sizei have seen it years ago aiming to sell locally and lemons also Mozambique love them too
The sweet part is; we have the big species. we just need to brand it. Branding is key in marketing and this goes to all products.

In Zambia it only takes 3yrs for avocados grown from seed to give you fruits
Cool 😎
How can you please tell us your secret
How much is it per Kg from Zambia?
in the last 3 years, we have planted more than 15 million Avocado trees in Ethiopia. In some regions, we see the harvest already
My God, this is very good. I wish you all the best of luck. That's a significant effort right there. Whether we like it or not, that initiative would change the life's of thousands of Ethiopians and that's exactly what we want. We need to take control of food security in Africa. Peace

Awesome content!
One of the top challenges facing agriculture in Nigeria is how farmers can connect with those who will buy their farm produce at metric rate. You will do well to connect us with exporters sir.

Thanks
Thanks so much!! Stephanie. I am glad you acknowledge my efforts
@@AfricaToday1Are you billion.Stop deluding pepl
Good info, my only concern with avocado has been how water intensive it is---it literally creates droughts in the lands wherever they farm it and require substantial water support---I think we will have to limit how much land is allocated to it in Africa -if I'm wrong let me know
Thanks for your contribution Williams
Insightful and encouraging messages! Thank you from Ethiopia.
You are welcome ❤
plum tomato is the way to go lol, it gives me much less headache when wake up at nights... healthy most proobably, specially when I drink alcohol...
I feel you 🤓
😂😊
Cold pressed Avocado make better oil for cooking and for cosmetic. This is a fuel for a healthy lifestyle sure. You don’t need to buy a tree, you can replant the seed. There is videos on RUclips on how to replant the seed. You need to make it sprout it first. There is many videos online on how to. Who can afford 20usd each tree if you are going to start with so many trees? Maybe 10 usd is more reasonable. If you start as a farmer, you don’t have so much income to start up. You still see your money from a free seed to a tree.
Heyatomakeit, Thanks for your tips. they would help someone. thanks a lot
Great business, here in the UK avocados are expensive
Wow, that's a good business opportunity if you can control the chain and pocket the difference. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
Can you please find a genuine buy that I will export to from Africa
My parents planted avocados straight from the seed it takes 5 years so i tried grafting mmm i failed 😂 but m comfortable with waiting for them to bear naturally bt some fruits are easy to graft
planting from the seed is not easy at all. anyway, in those days since we never knew any other method, it seemed perfect. thank God for innovations. Our parents really went through a lot. I sometimes imagine how they lived without electricity and internet. 😂😂😂
You're joking
I have 4 avocado plants growing in my yard from seed andthese were plantedrandomly..we were surprised too
I can never in this life plant anything from seed again ever since I knew this great advantage of grafting, if your graft fail you should try again ,u will get it right than planting from seed , unless you are trying to get a new specie
I just ran into this video while doing researches on avocado oil production. That you!
You are welcome Tita.
Kenya had started to export avocados to China. How's that going. Seriously though, they need to see and try the Jamaican avocados 🥑
Good idea

What is the best variaty of avocado that is mostly on demand on the market especially internationally?
Hello dear. So far, the most exported is the Hass variety. However, the another variety known as the 'reed' is reputable for it's taste
Thank you..! Very informative and well organized video.
thanks Catherine.
The thing I want to have a knowledge for is how to find market for avocado overseas?
Avacado grow naturally wild in New Guinea Melanesian Islands too.
Cool
They might be using those avocados in China to make avocado oil to resell to Africa, hence Africa should diverify the oil that they use to cook.
The thing that makes Europe richer is the facts that they create labour and are not afraid of creating inventions.
Please make oil for export also, i don't believe that they only eat them.
Like a Korean lady was laughing at how they buy oil from Nigeria, refine it and sell it back to them. If Nigerians refined and made various products with the oil and trusted their youths abilities it won't work.
Avocado alike, there should be organized body to help the farmers provide quality.
You are a pro. thanks for sharing that advice. it would inspire many. I also read your comment on "the richest city in Africa" you said it is Lagos. The truth is, Lagos is such a rich town culturally and economically. it is an incubator for the next generation of millionaires in Africa. I can't wait to make a video on it's new transport system. thanks for your contribution.
This is a very good idea, the only major thing he missed out was how much water it takes to cultivate avocados, and we all know the problems that we have in that department
Thanks for sharing.
Just like most trees, avocado consumes a lot of water.
@@AfricaToday1 4 timed more than an average fruit tree
Not a bad idea; but you should look at the water consumption aspect
Apples and bananas consume more water than avocado but I don't know why avocado's case is special. Not blaming you for that, it's all over the internet. It has made many people to actually think avocado is just a 'sink' which is not the case.
the hype is beneficial right now buut it will soon be like the macadamia market where kenyans have gone losses due to suplus supply in china market .... macadamia 6 yers ago was like 2 dollars in kenya today its less than 5 cents ;;; be careful b4 you invest coz it takes 2 to 3 yrs to start comercial production
A little kindness from you won't hurt. You complain too much. Start by thanking him for taking out his time to even do this video in the first place
Chill bro . Allow us to get inspired in peace. We need videos like this. If you don't see value in it's don't come and discourage us
lol if you are pained by truth go farm the avocados then in 3 yrs tell me how much you make ,,, i could show you the moey making crop right now but your blindness cant alow you to see ,,,wacha sisi agrimillionaires keep making agrocash kwa secure markets
@@nochenjeru3529tell me that crop. My avocadoes are fuerte for local market only
@@nochenjeru3529hi mind sharing your contact?
Thank you very much for this informative video.
However, i wish to warn most African would be farmers that most people get into farming due to peer pressure and misinformation that they will become Millionaires or billionaires. Farming like any other business needs passion and knowledge the dollar will follow.
Thats the reason why one Southern African nation that had a chaotic land reform is still suffering economically, and survives on donor food donation. There is food shortage every year because they have land but have passion about farming. Theybare now leasing the same land to so called white farmers.
Another point is avocado farmers in South America are not Millionaires because the western countries do exploit the farmers. Just like they do with cotton, cocoa, coffee farmers
Someone said "sell it before you produce it", African farmers are generally exploited.
Be careful about the term middle class, that means different things in different places. In much of Africa thats 5 to 10 USD per day
what countrys do you recomend that is safe and good to have a farm in ? and what are the taxes ? Why is advocado better then other things to have on a farm with other things you can have it after 1 year for example peppers i think ? Thank You
How much is 1 hectare of land in africa? Also what part of africa since the avocado needs to be planted in the correct environment. You should do a video on buying farm land in Africa specifically for growing avocado maybe show some places to buy at and the process to take to ensure a safe and protected purchase.
Thanks Xaratemplate for proposing that video idea. Please feel free to always tell us what you want us to cover. We would do that video and tag you in it.
@@AfricaToday1 thanks
In my own part of Africa Midwestern Uganda a hector is around 5000$ or slightly below
3:20 Interesting video. When you talk about average price of farm land in Africa, where are you talking about? I just came from a video where somebody in Botswana said farm land there was around 10,000usd/hectare.
In West African countries. Farm land is so cheap because their government wants to promote large scale farming
@@AfricaToday1Today, so the government won't let landowners sell land for a good (high) price?
Good job 👏. Do you think hass will do well in west Africa? We already the local avocado here
The local Avoca do is very good, the thing is, Hass is a species from Mexico that has been heavily branded. We need to brand our local African species too. The truth is, it's one of the best. Many people out of Africa have never seen the type of large avocados we have here. Those from Mexico are far more smaller.
So again, Hass does very well in West Africa and our local species make an added advantage. We just need to do it correctly.
@@AfricaToday1 the problem is the local ones take forever to bear fruits other Than that the local taste better
Thank you my Neighbor
You are welcome my friend
On military strength, Nigeria is a big joke, unless in terms of numbers but if it's power it's Egypt ,SA ,Algeria.

That explains why Africa, Ethiopia and Egypt are the countries in BRICS
Thanks for your video.But which are the best types of avocado to plant and how can one get it ?
Hello fam, The Hass variety is preferable due to it's fats content resulting in it's unique taste.
Hass and fuerte, check local nursery
avocado from tanzania
Zambia could be the biggest supplier of avocado if it wants
Why Zambia
Great. Let us also know that we must not always export the product. We can use it to make cooking oil.
They have big land and fertile soil

@@AfricaToday1 Confirm.... greetings to you
I am a Nigerian and i have 15 plants of avocado plants that are 3 years old now. How can i get connected to the market please?
What you need to do is to connect with other avocado farmers in your area. Together you can organize and negotiate with partners in big markets for export. That's how it starts. Another option if you don't want to export would be to add value to your avocado by transforming it into cooking oil, as it is high in demand in Nigeria.
Thanks so much my dear. I'll do that right away. But I need some guidance. What's the requirement please?
Does it matter the vegetation? I have 20 acres of arable land in southwest Nigeria. It’s currently idle, I might put it to use.
Yes please do
@@AfricaToday1 Do you have an idea of how many trees can be planted on a 20 acre land?
I waa supprised today did you know that just a fruit of avocados today is sold at #500 naira in my area😂😂😂😂
Exactly 🤣
Egypt and Algeria 🇩🇿
What is grafting? How is it used to propagate avocado tree.
Hello Timothy,
Grafting is attaching one part of a plant to the root-stock of another plant with the aim improving the efficiency of fruit production (in the case of avocado).
The part of the plant that is attached to the root-stock is selected based on desirable traits like; disease resistance and the creamy texture of its parent plant.
Make a vertical split in the center of the root-stock, then attach the scion (stem from donor plant having desirable traits) into the cambium layer of the root-stock. As a tip, always make sure that the scion has a minimum of 2 buds.
@@AfricaToday1 Thank you so much for your explanation. I'll try it when I get back to Africa.
I live is Germany and most of my money goes on Avocado. Avocado getting really expensive yearly.

If you consume a lot of avocado 🥑, you would grab all the health benefits that comes with it. I am glad you are eating healthy. Thanks for sharing with the community
you do not need 15 years to start harvesting by growing seed, 4 to 6 years is enough.
It depends on the species. 15 years is given to demonstrate that it can be UpTo that time. Thanks for sharing with the community
@@AfricaToday1 find the species that takes the longest and I will try 1 or 2 tricks, if it works then great for us but if it doesn't then at least we tried. Each method has it's advantages though. so maybe a hybrid programme of the two methods will be ideal in some scenarios;
Have you farmed it
***Can you stay on topic, avocado? Leave military for another video.
Thanks, I was reacting to the polls from our community tap
Where are you buying land for $40 per hectre ... I really wanna know. Maybe I'll relocate there
40 dollars would go for renting 1 hectare per farming season. In many places. When it comes to actually buying, depending on the location, it starts at 150 dollars.
If it’s a business then the land will pay the price
Yes I am sure they are worth more than gold. That is if the fruits are not stolen or sold rotten on the inside in supermarkets. I for one have stopped buying them.
😅😅😅
It's a matter of time the price has stated foling down here majirani
Just like any commodity, price fluctuations are expected. In addition to that, freezing can help reduce the perishable nature of the fruit thereby stabilizing the price to an extent.
No, avocado takes more water than anything else and leads to drought, if you can find a river or good water supply close by then yes. Leads to much deforestation.
There is no thought the avocado tree consumes a lot of water. On the other hand, other trees are worse. The apple tree and the Hackberry tree are among the many trees that consume more water than the avocado. The apple tree consumes up to 820 liters of water, a banana sucker UpTo 750 Liters. Truth be told.
The amount of water avocado consumes ranks lower than average amongst most fruits and vegetables.
Concerning your second point, I totally agree with you. When starting an avocado farm, it's very important to choose an appropriate location. Locating it near a river is a huge advantage.
problem with you youtubers talk of the money but it needs alot of money to run avocado farm coz irrigation is most expensive
Know that every business is not meant for everyone. They have a lot of business idea videos on this channel and you can choose the one that suits your budget

4:37, No way farmers in Kenya are getting 1.42usd/kg avocado, unless they physically go to the market and sell it retail.
I just saw a video that showed farmers growing for an avocado producing facility that coaches them, and the price they receive is roughly 85cents/kg.

@@earlysda I have the evidence government search international market on behalf of farmers if you're from kenya I can humbly request u to search a region called muranga and kiambu those areas farmers are enjoying that Hass ovacado they currently call it Gold
You better believe it. If you sell to an exporter directly you can get as much as 2$ per kg
The pay about 0.30$ per kg
Who does your editing sir
Haha
I avoid to eat any avocados as it is a damaging crop to plant and flying these fruits all over the world to is consumers is adding to the bad eco foot print
Oh really
Avocado needs more water and not good for earth,also for export not good.more for import good
You are right it requires a lot of water, most tress do. I think it has to be done sustainably so as to preserve our lovely planet. This starts with chosing the right place to locate the farm. In addition to that, the health benefits are not to be neglected. Many people have health problems that leave them with just a small menu to feed from. I have been in the medical field for a long time now and understand what some people are going through. More to that, it's not good to wait and have a health condition before looking for a solution. The best way to live healthy is to prevent the problem in the first place. More than 70% of our health problems come from what we consume. Avocado is far healthier than many things we consume. Lastly, while it provides us with good health, we can also make some money out of it.
Please Africans let us farm to feed Africa first. Let us farm to process everything in Africa without selling to USA, China, Europe first. Please sell within Africa FIRST. Otherwise we will not be adding value to our produce & we will not be working for the people that have enslaved us & looted everything from Africa for 500yrs. Africans must never encourage foreigners to come to invest in Africa, otherwise we are working for these investors as slaves which we refuse but when we allow them to invest in Africa then we are volunteer slaves for the foreign investors. More Africans must join their money together to invest in Africa. Tell your family & friends to join money together & buy many hectares of farm land & farm employing Africans to work & earn money instead of selling African land to foreigners. Africans must never allow slavery to continue in our mother continent. Africans working for chinese or american or European companies is slave trade in the Africa continent. We cannot allow that dear brothers & sisters of Africa. One love, one Africa!
One love
One love , one Africa ❤❤✌🏾
Ethiopia wasn’t colonise because they got no minerals resources to take from there lands.
Uneducated
But Farmers remain poor
the thing is, we don't only need to cultivate, we also need to start thinking of transformation or value add. Agribusiness, when done rightly has up to 88 % success rate in most cases. If you want to appreciate agribusiness, you need to compare with other sectors too. its always good to compare two things. more than 50% of all new businesses fail within the first year of activities.
The west have to decide whether they want to pay a decent price for the avocados which would in turn encourage farmers in Africa or will they prefer for drugs to flood their streets because farmers cannot make money legitimately from avocados. The taliban it is said are now encouraging poppy growing because afghan farmers get better prices from poppies than agriculture. Very strange times we are living in.
You seem unaware of the real situation...
Nice program but you sound like a Nigerian guy with your accent.
☺️☺️☺️☺️👌
It takes 3 years for a avocado tree to grow. The money not fast enough for a poor African farmer.
That's a very good reaction Shelton, 3 years is better than 15 years, at least that's the time it took for avocado to bear fruits in the past. thanks to technological advancements, we can now do it in 3 years. One of the reasons why its still very lucrative is that, many people think 3 years is still very long, this makes the 1% who take the risk to make huge returns on investment. As you rightly said, it's unrealistic to an extent for a poor farmer. the waiting time is just going to be "too long". Though to an extent, I think it might work for the poor farmer if scaling and delayed gratification is done correctly.
An African Map without 🇲🇬, Really?
Sorry Yusuf, I didn't mean that. Most African digital maps come like that, But we all know Madagascar is part of the motherland.
So, what vital food crops or, cash crops will be sacrificed for massive avocado production in Kenya to meet chinese demand for it? Did you bother to think about that before advocating for the mass production of avocados as a cash crop in Kenya?
Pls be very careful about promoting this food crop in very large quantities. I fear it will not turn out well for Kenya and any other african country considering it. This may turn Kenya and other african countries into a massive continent that produces only food crops for China to the detriment of other vital foods we africans need for our survival here at home.
The Brazilians fell for these, when they went into mass production of soybeans for the chinese market to the detriment of her huge diversified forest regions which has always helped stabilise climate change all around the world. Today so much of that has been depleted and is affecting the environment negatively. Is that what you want, depleted massive rainforests all over africa for avocados? 🥑 Take a minute and think deeply about that. 🤔😒😑
Thanks for your contribution 🙏
We interplant grafted avocadoes with food crops such as maize, beans, sweet potatoes, vegetables plus cash crops. Most farms are not mono cropped.
