Our CEO, Mr. Wagura, attended the launch of the National Horticulture Traceability System (NHTS), a significant step towards enhancing traceability, transparency and efficiency within Kenya's horticulture sector.
A key feature of the system is the registration of farmers and suppliers, enabling produce to be traced from the farm through the value chain to the export market.
The launch provided stakeholders with an opportunity to engage with the system and better understand its implications for compliance, traceability and the future of horticultural exports in Kenya.

In agriculture, this translates into better market linkages for farmers, stronger skills development along the chain and expanded opportunities for youth and women.
For the avocado sector, this is especially relevant from production and aggregation to processing and export readiness, where structure and coordination shape value creation and distribution.
AEAK’s engagement through Mr. Wagurah contributed sector insights on Kenya’s avocado value chain, reinforcing opportunities to unlock employment, productivity and value addition.
