Kenya is becoming a notable producer of the much sought-after green gold -- avocado. Interestingly, Murang’a County currently accounts for about 80 per cent of the total avocado production in the country.
The reason for this is because of the county’s climate. Subtropical avocado species require a climate without frost and with little wind. High winds reduce the humidity, dehydrate the flowers and affect pollination.
