Tanzanian Hass Avocados — Export Supply

Tanzania's Southern Highlands (Njombe, Iringa, Mbeya) and the Kilimanjaro/Arusha region have become fast-growing Hass avocado origins. High altitude (1,500–2,200 m) gives good dry matter, and the Tanzanian season complements Kenya's, helping buyers secure longer supply programmes.
