Commodity #06
Avocado
Parachichi · Persea americana
Fresh export-grade Hass and oil-extraction grade-outs from the Southern Highlands.
Overview
We source avocados from Njombe, Iringa, Mbeya and Rungwe — the Southern Highlands belt that produces the bulk of Tanzania's commercial crop. We aggregate two distinct streams: fresh export-grade fruit (predominantly Hass) for produce exporters and consolidators, and grade-out / reject fruit suitable for cold-press oil extraction. Elengos does not process avocados; we deliver raw material direct to processor and packhouse factory gates.
Standard specification.
Custom specifications available on contract. Pre-shipment inspection certificates accompany every export consignment.
