Who we are

An East African fresh produce export house, built on trust and terroir.

From a network of high-altitude farms across East Africa, we deliver four things exceptionally well: fresh export fruit — avocados, mangoes, passion fruit and macadamia — to global retailers, cold-pressed avocado oil to premium food and cosmetics brands, and agronomy consultation to growers ready to enter the export supply chain.

Highland-grown

1,700–2,100m altitude for firm flesh, long shelf life and superior quality across all crops.

Traceable

Every carton traces back to farm, block and picking date.

Cold-pressed

Avocado oil extracted below 45°C to preserve chlorophyll, aroma and nutrients.

Farmer-first

Fair pricing, agronomy support and long-term offtake agreements.

Why East Africa

The world's most compelling fresh produce origin.

East Africa is one of the fastest-growing horticultural export regions globally — and Kenforest is at its centre.

Year-round supply

East Africa's equatorial climate and varied altitudes enable staggered harvests across multiple crops and varieties, delivering consistent supply 12 months a year.

Superior quality

High-altitude growing conditions — cool nights, rich volcanic soils and ample rainfall — produce fruit with exceptional flavour, shelf life and export specifications.

Smallholder network

Over 1,600 contracted growers across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania give us unmatched sourcing depth and supply resilience across seasons and crops.

Strategic location

Positioned between Europe, the Middle East and Asia, East Africa offers competitive freight times and growing trade corridor advantages.

Where we ship

From East Africa to eighteen markets across three continents.

We ship weekly via East African ports in refrigerated containers, and by air-freight for premium retail and food-service customers. Our sales team handles documentation, phytosanitary clearance and cold-chain from farm gate to destination port.
