Avocados in Kenya: what’s holding back smallholder farmers (The Conversation)

The Conversation featured an op-ed by Research Fellow Mulubrhan Amare on avocados in Kenya and how to increase export production. Amare with co-authors found in a recent study that exporting more of Kenya’s avocado production could raise the incomes of Kenyan smallholder farmers. But, to do so, programs and policymakers need to reduce the barriers that smallholders face when they want to participate in export markets.
