As a business journalist l have written about the impact of Kenya’s unripe avocado exports in the international markets for about 10 years. From the farmers’ perspective and the government’s side. But today l will talk about my experience in buying the fruit in Denmark. 1/6

WHAT! I am screaming 😱. I have no clue how my work travelled around the world and landed in front of @TIME, but naming me in their 2024 #TIME100NEXT list of influential leaders shaping the future of their fields and defining the next generation of leadership is wild, and you are all right at the centre of this acknowledgement.

Thank you for helping me show the world that young, quirky people can also create impact!

1 Corinthians 2:9 says: That is what the scriptures mean when they say, “no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

I just want to speak to the underdogs who feel like what they want is impossible. Please, please keep putting one foot in front of the other however dark it might be - I PROMISE, you were made for a time such as this on purpose and for purpose!

According to the buyers, clients prefer avocados from Peru and not Kenya due to quality concerns. They only buy them when there is a shortage.

[Brenda Kerubo @brendakerubo7]

Last April, I shared a post about my disappointment in buying Kenyan avocados that don’t ripen in Denmark. The viral thread contained numerous firsthand accounts from people in different countries who had similar experiences. These responses became the basis of my master’s thesis

[Brenda Kerubo @brendakerubo7]

From January until the end of February, avocados come to Europe mostly from Israel, Chile, and Colombia. Peru, South Africa, and Kenya in March to October.
