The vision is to grow the number to 5,500 farmers in the next three years. Last Year (2020) the company exported 80 containers of organic avocados, which is equivalent to 1840 tons. Through this the company had a turnover of Kes 236 million tons of which 77% (KEs 182 M) went to small scale farmers.
