Bulk Avocado Oil Exporters East Africa — The Complete 2026 Guide
East Africa’s avocado oil sector is experiencing its most significant transformation in history. In the past twelve months alone, the region has seen a wave of major commercial investments that are reshaping the bulk supply landscape for international buyers worldwide:
In January 2025, Avo Africa of Tanzania commissioned a large-capacity avocado oil processing facility in Makambako, Njombe Region — with initial capacity of 600 tonnes per day, doubling to 1,200 tonnes per day by mid-2025. In July 2025, Sahel Capital announced a USD 1 million debt investment in Persea Oil, a prominent avocado oil manufacturer with operations in both Kenya and Tanzania. In March 2025, Fresh Del Monte Produce purchased the majority of Avolio, a producer of avocado oil in Uganda, scaling their extraction technology to process up to 140 metric tonnes of avocados per day. Gems Of East Africa
Furthermore, Kenya — the undisputed anchor of East Africa’s avocado oil industry — is posting record production figures. Kenya’s 2025 avocado production volume reached 694,000 tonnes — the highest level on record. Avocado oil processing increased significantly between 2024 and 2025 from 3,326 tonnes to 10,188 tonnes, driven by rising demand in high-income markets. Gems Of East Africa
For international bulk buyers — food manufacturers, cosmetic ingredient processors, nutraceutical companies, wholesale traders, and private label brands — East Africa is rapidly becoming one of the most strategically important avocado oil supply regions in the world. Kenya is currently Africa’s leading avocado producer, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda — with the main exporters supplying Europe, the USA, the Middle East, and Asia.

East Africa’s Avocado Oil Investment Boom — Why 2026 Is a Pivotal Year
The investment activity of 2025 has fundamentally altered the bulk avocado oil capacity available from East Africa. International buyers who have not reassessed their East Africa sourcing options since 2023 or earlier are working with an outdated picture of the market.
Fresh Del Monte’s purchase of Avolio in Uganda, Avo Africa’s Makambako facility in Tanzania hitting 1,200 tonnes per day processing capacity, and Persea Oil’s USD 1 million investment through Sahel Capital collectively represent the most significant period of avocado oil processing investment in East Africa’s history. Gems Of East Africa
This investment surge is a direct response to global demand dynamics. Avocado oil processing in Kenya alone increased from 3,326 tonnes in 2024 to 10,188 tonnes in 2025 — a more than threefold increase in a single year — driven by rising demand in high-income markets across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Gems Of East Africa
For international buyers, this production expansion has three immediate commercial implications. First, bulk supply availability from East Africa is substantially greater than it was 24 months ago. Second, competition among East African processors for international buyer relationships is increasing, creating more favourable pricing conditions. Third, the entry of institutional investors and multinational companies into East Africa’s avocado oil sector — Del Monte in Uganda, Sahel Capital in Kenya/Tanzania — signals the maturing of the region into a commercially credible, investable industry rather than an emerging cottage sector.
Kenya — East Africa’s Dominant Bulk Avocado Oil Exporter
Scale and Production Credentials
Kenya’s 2025 avocado production reached 694,000 tonnes — the highest on record — with 2026 production forecast to expand by a further 4.8% to approximately 727,000 tonnes. Exports are forecast to increase by 7.4% to 130,000 tonnes in 2026. Kenya remained Africa’s number one avocado exporter in 2025, followed by Morocco and South Africa. Gems Of East Africa
Kenya’s dominance in avocado oil export reflects its position as Africa’s largest avocado producer. The country’s oil processing infrastructure is concentrated in the Central Kenya corridor — Thika, Kiambu, Murang’a, Kirinyaga, and Meru counties — where proximity to the country’s principal avocado growing zones minimises fruit transport time and preserves raw material quality for cold-press extraction.
Key Kenyan Bulk Avocado Oil Processors and Exporters
Crofts Limited (Thika, Kiambu County) Crofts Limited in Thika processes more than 10 million kilograms of avocados annually with approximately 100 permanent and seasonal staff, producing extra virgin avocado oil for domestic and international markets. Co-founder Miraj Shah has built one of Kenya’s most recognised avocado oil processing operations, operating under HACCP quality management standards. Located in Thika’s industrial belt — with excellent road access to Mombasa Port (500km via the A109 highway) and Nairobi JKIA (45km) — Crofts is well-positioned for both sea and air freight export. Gems Of East Africa
LIMBUA Group (Mount Kenya Region) LIMBUA is a German-Kenyan producer and exporter of organic avocado oil grown in the Mount Kenya region and processed in their own Kenya facilities — from fruit sourcing through oil production and export. Available in virgin cold-pressed organic and crude grades for B2B bulk applications, with optional certifications including Naturland, Demeter, Bio Suisse, Rainforest Alliance Certified, and Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC). LIMBUA’s German partnership gives it a direct connection to European cosmetic and food ingredient buyers, making it particularly well-connected for premium EU market supply. GEMS OF EAST AFRICA
Persea Oil (Kenya and Tanzania) Persea Oil is a prominent avocado oil manufacturer with operations in both Kenya and Tanzania, having received a USD 1 million investment from Sahel Capital through its Social Enterprise Fund for Agriculture in Africa (SEFAA) in July 2025. This institutional investment has enabled Persea Oil to scale its processing capacity significantly, positioning it as one of the region’s most financially supported bulk processors. Gems Of East Africa
Vegbatian Exporters Ltd (Muranga, Kenol) A Kenya-owned processor producing cold-pressed extra virgin and crude avocado oil from its Kenol facility in Murang’a County — the heart of Kenya’s avocado-growing belt. Vegbatian operates a state-of-the-art processing plant with farm-to-product traceability systems, making it particularly attractive for EU cosmetic brand buyers with strict supply chain documentation requirements.
Royal Calla Ltd One of Kenya’s and Africa’s leading providers of high-quality avocado oil, selling bulk crude and extra virgin Kenyan avocado oil. Royal Calla targets the international B2B bulk wholesale market — food manufacturers, cosmetic ingredient processors, and wholesale traders — with competitive bulk pricing on larger container orders.
Avopro Kenya (Sagana, Central Kenya) Operating through a network of nearly 5,000 Kenyan farmers, Avopro produces naturally refined avocado oil with a strong ethical sourcing narrative — 80% female-owned farm partnerships and full farm-to-product traceability. Avopro’s community sourcing model is particularly resonant with European and North American buyers building responsible supply chain ESG narratives.
Kenya’s Logistics Infrastructure for Bulk Oil Export
Kenya’s export logistics infrastructure gives it a decisive advantage over other East African avocado oil producers:
The Netherlands remained Kenya’s main avocado export market, accounting for 24% of volume, followed by the UAE with 19% (up 3%), Spain and France with 11% each, and Turkey and Germany on 5%. Emerging markets including China and Iraq saw volumes increase by 137% and 78% respectively. Gems Of East Africa
Mombasa Port — East Africa’s premier deep-water export hub — provides direct vessel services to Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Jebel Ali, Mumbai, Shanghai, and all other major importing markets. Nairobi JKIA provides air freight options for smaller, time-sensitive bulk oil shipments to premium food and cosmetic buyers. Furthermore, Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) connecting Nairobi to Mombasa reduces inland transport costs and improves supply chain efficiency for processors in the Central Kenya growing belt.
Tanzania — East Africa’s Fastest-Growing Avocado Oil Processor
Tanzania has emerged as the most dramatic growth story in East Africa’s avocado oil sector in 2025–2026.
In January 2025, Avo Africa of Tanzania commissioned a large-capacity avocado oil processing facility in Makambako, Njombe Region — starting at 600 tonnes per day capacity and doubling to 1,200 tonnes per day by mid-2025. Gems Of East Africa
Makambako in the Njombe Region of southern Tanzania is situated within one of Tanzania’s most productive avocado-growing zones — at high altitude with volcanic soils and reliable rainfall that produces high-oil-content Hass fruit. The Avo Africa facility’s scale — 1,200 tonnes of avocados per day, translating to approximately 60–120 tonnes of oil per day depending on extraction yield — represents a transformative addition to East Africa’s bulk oil processing capacity.
Tanzania is ranked among Africa’s leading avocado producers — behind Kenya but ahead of Uganda and Ethiopia — with avocado production concentrated in the Southern Highlands (Njombe, Mbeya, Iringa), Kilimanjaro Region, and Arusha Region. Gems Of East Africa
Avo Africa (Makambako, Njombe Region) Tanzania’s largest dedicated avocado oil processing operation. Avo Africa’s Makambako facility processes up to 1,200 tonnes of avocados per day, producing bulk crude and refined avocado oil for export. The facility’s scale, location in Tanzania’s highest-quality avocado-growing zone, and institutional investment backing position it as a potential anchor supplier for international buyers seeking large-volume, consistent-quality East African bulk oil. Gems Of East Africa
Persea Oil Tanzania Operations As noted, Persea Oil operates across both Kenya and Tanzania, providing cross-border supply flexibility for international buyers wanting to source from both countries’ growing zones under a single commercial relationship.
Export Logistics from Tanzania Tanzania’s bulk avocado oil exports route through two principal logistics channels. The Dar es Salaam Port — Tanzania’s largest seaport — provides container shipping to all major international markets. Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in Dar es Salaam is Tanzania’s largest airport, serving as the primary international gateway with flights to destinations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East — and is the principal air freight export point for Tanzania’s agricultural exports to the global market. Makambako in Njombe Region is approximately 700 kilometres from Dar es Salaam via the Tanzam Highway — a manageable distance for bulk drum transport to the port. Kenya Gold STORE
Uganda — Fresh Del Monte’s New Avocado Oil Hub
Uganda entered the international bulk avocado oil market in a significant way in 2025.
In March 2025, Fresh Del Monte Produce purchased the majority of Avolio, a producer of avocado oil in Uganda. As part of its expansion strategy for speciality ingredients, Del Monte is scaling Avolio’s extraction technology to process up to 140 metric tonnes of avocados per day and increase output worldwide. Gems Of East Africa
Avolio Industries Ltd (Namanve Industrial Area, Kampala) Avolio Industries Ltd is located at Plot 500, Kazinga, Namanve Industrial Area, Kampala, Uganda — with minimum order quantities starting from 1,000 units, targeting B2B international wholesale buyers. Following Fresh Del Monte’s majority acquisition and investment in scaling processing capacity to 140 MT/day, Avolio is positioned to become one of East Africa’s most commercially significant bulk avocado oil processors. Gems Of East Africa
Uganda’s avocado growing regions — concentrated in the Mount Elgon area (Mbale, Kapchorwa), Western Uganda (Kabale, Kisoro), and Central Uganda (Mukono) — produce good-quality Hass and Fuerte fruit. A proposed processing plant in Mukono, Uganda, is designed to produce 15.8 tonnes of avocado oil per day, further expanding Uganda’s oil processing footprint. Gems Of East Africa
Export Logistics from Uganda Uganda is landlocked — all bulk avocado oil exports route through either Mombasa Port in Kenya (via the Northern Corridor highway, approximately 1,000 km from Kampala) or Dar es Salaam Port in Tanzania (via the Kampala-Tazara route, approximately 1,400 km). The longer inland haulage compared to Kenya’s processors means Ugandan bulk avocado oil carries higher per-litre logistics costs than Kenyan material — a factor buyers must account for in total landed cost calculations.
Ethiopia — Emerging East African Avocado Oil Origin
Ethiopia is Africa’s third-largest avocado producer overall and holds significant untapped potential for avocado oil production.
Avoil Avocado Oil Manufacturing PLC is an American company producing organic, cold-press avocado oil in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — with BCS Germany organic certification for cold-pressed cosmetic-grade avocado oil available in stock for international buyers. Gems Of East Africa
Ethiopia’s avocado growing areas — concentrated in the western and southwestern highlands around Jimma, Kaffa, Illu Ababor, and Bale zones — produce substantial volumes of both Hass and local avocado varieties at elevations between 1,500 and 2,200 metres above sea level. The country’s high-altitude growing conditions produce fruit with naturally high oil content, and its relatively untapped status means fruit acquisition costs for processors remain lower than in mature Kenyan markets.
However, Ethiopia’s bulk oil export infrastructure remains significantly less developed than Kenya’s. Addis Ababa Bole International Airport is the primary export gateway — a landlocked country with no seaport access, meaning all bulk oil exports incur air freight costs or long surface transport to Djibouti Port (approximately 600 km). This logistics challenge means Ethiopian avocado oil is most competitive for premium organic or high-value processed grades where air freight costs are a smaller proportion of total value.

Elisa Exporters monitors seasonal pricing and advises buyers on optimal procurement timing for maximum cost efficiency. Gems Of East Africa
Certification Framework — East African Bulk Oil Export
International buyers must understand the certification requirements for East African avocado oil imports into their target markets:
Food Safety Certifications
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) — Required by EU, US, UK, and most international food safety frameworks. Available from major Kenyan processors including Crofts Limited and Vegbatian. Export buyers often request certifications such as HACCP or other quality management systems, and meeting these standards demands investment in modern equipment and structured sourcing systems. Gems Of East Africa
ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 — Food safety management system certification, increasingly required by major food manufacturer buyers. Available from Kenya’s larger processing operations.
KEPHIS Phytosanitary Certificate — Mandatory for all Kenyan agricultural export products. Issued by the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service for every commercial shipment.
Organic Certifications
Optional organic certifications available from East African producers include Naturland, Demeter, Bio Suisse, Rainforest Alliance Certified, and Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) from Kenyan processors including LIMBUA Group. Ethiopian producer Avoil holds BCS Germany organic certification. USDA Organic and EU Organic certifications are available from select Kenyan processors upon buyer request. GEMS OF EAST AFRICA
Cosmetic Industry Certifications
COSMOS / ECOCERT — For organic cosmetic claims in EU and international personal care markets. ISO 16128 — Natural and organic cosmetic ingredient definitions. NATRUE — Premium natural cosmetic standard. These certifications are available from select Kenyan processors and are coordinated by Elisa Exporters upon buyer request.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bulk Avocado Oil Exporters East Africa
Q: Which East African country offers the best value for bulk avocado oil in 2026? Kenya offers the optimal combination of processing quality, export infrastructure, and competitive pricing for most international bulk buyers. Kenya’s avocado oil processing increased from 3,326 tonnes in 2024 to 10,188 tonnes in 2025 — a more than threefold increase — making it the region’s most mature and scalable bulk oil supply source. Tanzania offers emerging large-scale capacity at potentially lower crude oil prices through Avo Africa’s Makambako facility. Uganda’s Avolio — now backed by Fresh Del Monte — offers institutional quality standards for buyers with Del Monte supply chain requirements. Gems Of East Africa
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for bulk avocado oil from East Africa through Elisa Exporters? Through Elisa Exporters, minimum orders begin at a single 200-litre drum for quality evaluation, scaling to half-container (approximately 50 drums, 10,000 litres) and full 20-foot container loads (approximately 100 drums, 20,000 litres) for established buyers. Annual supply contracts with monthly or quarterly scheduled container shipments are available. A 1–5 litre air-shipped quality sample with COA is available before any commercial drum order commitment.
Q: What is driving the rapid growth of avocado oil production in East Africa? Rising demand in high-income markets across Europe, North America, and the Middle East for premium avocado oil — in both food and cosmetics — is the primary demand driver. Institutonal investment from entities like Sahel Capital SEFAA fund in Persea Oil and Fresh Del Monte’s acquisition of Avolio reflects institutional confidence in the sector’s long-term commercial viability. Additionally, Kenya’s production is forecast to continue expanding — reaching 727,000 tonnes in 2026 — providing the raw material foundation for continued oil processing growth. Gems Of East AfricaGems Of East Africa
Q: Does East African avocado oil comply with EU food and cosmetic import standards? Yes — when sourced from appropriately certified processors. The EU requires HACCP certification, EU food-grade specifications, country of origin documentation, and from 2026, EUDR deforestation due diligence (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are classified as standard or low-risk under EUDR’s benchmarking framework). For organic cosmetic applications, COSMOS or ECOCERT certification from EU-recognised certification bodies is required. Elisa Exporters sources exclusively from processors holding the appropriate certifications for EU market supply.
Q: How do I compare East African avocado oil quality to Mexican or Peruvian supply? Extraction yields from Kenyan fruit are around 50% lower than those from Mexico and other Latin American producers — a processing economics challenge that Kenyan processors are addressing through improved ripening protocols and extraction technology investment. However, East African avocado oil’s high-altitude growing conditions, Hass variety dominance, and the premium “African origin” provenance increasingly valued in European specialty food and cosmetic markets give it a compelling market position alongside competitive pricing for buyers who value quality and traceability.
