The United Kingdom’s appetite for avocados has seen a significant surge in recent years. As health-conscious consumers seek nutritious and versatile food options, avocados have become a staple in many UK households. This growing demand presents a valuable opportunity for Kenyan exporters, like Edited Facta Nuts and Fruits Ltd, to introduce high-quality Kenyan avocados to the UK market.
Rising Avocado Consumption in the UK
Despite economic challenges, the UK’s avocado market has demonstrated robust growth. In 2024, the market increased by 18% to reach $310 million, marking the second consecutive year of growth after a period of decline. Per capita consumption also rose, with the UK maintaining a strong position among European countries.
Health Trends Fueling Demand
The UK’s health and wellness movement has significantly contributed to the rise in avocado consumption. Avocados are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a popular choice among health-conscious consumers. The fruit’s versatility in various dishes, from salads to smoothies, further enhances its appeal.
Kenya’s Potential to Meet UK Demand
Kenya’s favorable climate and fertile soils make it an ideal location for avocado cultivation. The country’s avocado exports reached 16,000 tons in the first eight months of 2024, up from 14,000 tons in 2023 . With varieties like Hass, Fuerte, and Pinkerton, Kenyan avocados are well-suited to meet the UK’s growing demand.
