Our story

Rooted in East Africa. Reaching the world.

Kenforest Limited was founded to bridge two worlds: the smallholder farmers of East Africa's highlands and the global buyers who demand consistent, certified, traceable avocados. We built an integrated model — farm, agronomy, packhouse and export desk under one roof — so quality never depends on chance.

Today, we work with over 1,600 contracted growers across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, run our own flagship orchards, cold-press oil for premium brands and consult on new plantings across East Africa.
