Kenya is the third largest avocado producer in the world. Avocados are grown in several parts of Kenya and about 70% of avocado production comes from small-scale growers. They grow it for the local market and for export purposes. However, the international market requires higher quality avocados, which requires additional labour.
The survey found that not only would the cost of hiring labour increase if they participated in the export market, but the smallholder's household labour input increased by about half a month.
In order to reduce the cost and time of smallholder labour, Fstsort avocado rotary sorting machine is the perfect product for smallholder farmers. The avocado circular sorting system not only reduces labour costs and increases efficiency, it is also very avocado friendly and does not cause damage during the grading process. Most importantly it makes up for the shortcomings of manual sorting and improves the overall quality of the avocado.
