We train our members on Good Agricultural Practices and help them set systems to be compliant with local and global standards.
We guide on the establishment of orchards by ensuring that nurseries produce certified true- to- the- type disease free seedlings and offer right extension advise walked the production journey to the market through various credible input suppliers and other service providers.
We provide business to business networking opportunities for our members.
We participate and organize local and international kindred events such as county farmers field days and exhibit on international Trade fairs on avocado themed events.
