Tanzanian avocados begin campaign with stable supply

The Tanzanian avocado season has begun with positive results in terms of both volume and quality, establishing a stable start for the export sector. According to Jofrey Ombeni, managing director of Onocado Farms, the harvest has shown a steady flow of fruit, with uniform sizes and favorable conditions during the early stages of development, allowing operations to continue without major interruptions.

On the commercial front, demand remains strong, especially in key markets such as Asia—particularly India—and the Middle East, where consumption continues to show stable performance. These regions remain crucial for Tanzanian avocado exports, supporting the dynamism of foreign trade in this early stage of the season.

However, the sector faces significant logistical challenges. Volatility in transportation costs and the need to ensure consistent shipment quality are forcing exporters to optimize their planning. In this context, coordination with logistics operators and rigorous control at every stage of the supply chain have become critical factors for maintaining competitiveness.

Despite the challenges posed by the international context—particularly on routes linked to the Middle East—exporters have successfully adapted by adjusting their shipping strategies. With a stable supply and sustained demand, projections point to a balanced season, where the focus will be on maintaining quality standards and responding efficiently to the challenges of global trade.
