Africa is becoming a more significant player in the global avocado market as a result of increases in avocado consumption and farming throughout the continent. Exports of avocados to overseas markets have been rising from African nations, particularly those with temperate temperatures. A few of the main markets for African avocado exports are the Middle East, Russia, and the European Union.
Large commercial farms and smallholder farmers coexist in Africa’s avocado farming industry. There is a push to support and increase the involvement of smallholder farmers in the production of avocados because they are essential to the supply chain. The boom of the avocado industry in Africa can be attributed to increased investment in avocado production as well as upgrades to storage and transportation infrastructure.
The Africa Avocado market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
