IG International receives Tanzanian avocados from Avo Africa

The whole batch contains super creamy Hass avocados, and the units are bundled in 4 kg tray packaging

Leading fruit importer IG International have received an inaugural batch of first-grade Tanzanian avocados from Avo Africa, Tanzania. This is the first-ever shipment of avocado cultivars from the East African nation. The whole batch contains super creamy Hass avocados, and the units are bundled in 4 kg tray packaging. These first-grade fruits will be keenly priced in comparison to the cultivars from other countries, as there is no levied custom duty on their import.

Avo Africa is a part of the Keitt Group of companies. Keitt Exporters prides itself on being the leading grower & exporter of fruits and vegetables to markets in Europe and the Middle East for over two decades now. They are the biggest growers and exporters of avocados from Tanzania and Kenya.

Speaking about the procurement of avocados from Tanzania, Shubha Rawal, COO, Procurement and Marketing, IG International said, “Avocados have established their reputation as a global fruit and are indeed one of the healthiest in the world. Multifarious cuisines are using these ambrosial fruits for preparing exclusive platters. For a long time, India had been bereft of the goodness of creamy Tanzanian avocados. At IG International, we will offer them the joy of biting into a selectively luscious bunch of hass avocados straight from the lush green lap of Tanzania at very fair prices.”

Dipesh Devraj, Commercial and Operations Director, Keitt Group – Tanzania and Kenya said, “In January, a trade prohibition on avocado shipments from Tanzania to India was removed, allowing us to access the Indian fresh produce market. Over the years, our avocados have been adored across the world, and now we wish to introduce them to India. Anyone apart from IG International would not have sufficed as we were only going to approach the best. Their extensive network and our stringent quality control are a winning combination.”
