First ever shipments of Tanzanian avocados land in China, marking milestone for Tanzanian agriculture and Mr Avocado

China has welcomed its first shipment of Tanzanian avocados after the container arrived at Mr Avocado’s South China Ripening and Distribution Center. 

The milestone marks a successful collaboration between Mr Avocado, Tanzanian grower Africado, and Westfalia South Africa, making it possible to bring Tanzanian avocados to Chinese consumers for the first time.

For years, Chinese and Tanzanian authorities have been working closely to open the Chinese market to Tanzanian avocados. Africado, Tanzania’s largest avocado grower and exporter, is known for its vast operations. Recognised as a leading producer in the region, Africado’s expertise in avocado cultivation brings premium-quality avocados to China.

As the pioneer of professional avocado ripening and distribution in China, Mr Avocado has played a key role in transforming the country’s avocado market.

With avocado consumption rapidly growing among Chinese consumers, ripened avocados have become a top trend in the retail industry. This development opens up significant opportunities to meet the rising demand for fresh, ready-to-eat avocados in China. Mr Avocado currently holds a 70 per cent market share among high-end retailers in the Chinese market.
