Let’s explore these varieties and why they’re crucial for international buyers.
Hass Avocado – The Global Favorite

- Small to medium size
- Rich, nutty flavor with high oil content
- Superior shelf life
Why Importers Love It:
Hass is the most popular avocado variety globally—ideal for long-distance shipping and preferred by consumers in Europe, China, and the US. Kenyan Hass grows in optimal climate zones, giving it competitive taste and texture quality.
Fuerte Avocado – The Traditional Classic
Key Features:

Why Variety Matters to Importers
Market-Specific Demand
Different regions have unique preferences—some want oily, rich avocados like Hass, while others enjoy milder varieties like Fuerte.
Shelf Life for Global Markets
Hass’s extended post-harvest shelf life makes it ideal for distant markets with long shipping durations.
Consumer Recognition
