On August 2, Minister Counsellor Zhang Yijun attended the launch ceremony of kenya's fresh avocado export to China held in Limuru Town, Chiambu County, where David Osion, Chief Administrative Secretary of the Ken Ministry of Industrialization, Trade and Enterprise Development, Willred Malube, Director of the Ken Export Promotion and BrandIng Bureau, Theophilus Mutuy, Director of the Ken National Plant Health Supervision Bureau, Benjamin Tito, Director of the Ken Horticultural Crop Development Bureau, Esther Kimani, President of the Ken Pest Control Products Committee, and Ernest Mutuy, President of the Ken Avocado Association, were present at the launch ceremony of the Kenyan National Bureau of Plant Health Supervision. Muthani and other government departments, business associations, enterprises, farmers from all walks of life representatives attended the ceremony.
The issuance of the first batch of fresh avocados exported from Kenya to China marks that the "green channel" set up by China for agricultural products in Kenya and other African countries has been opened, the "nine projects" of China-Africa cooperation have been landed in Kenya and have achieved important early harvests, and China-Africa-China-Kenya economic and trade cooperation has yielded new fruits.
Zhang Yijun said that the export of fresh avocados to China is another witness to the friendly economic and trade cooperation between China and Kenya. The departments of China and Kenya have closely coordinated and cooperated, and in only half a year, the protocol for kenyan fresh avocados exported to China has been implemented, and the action has been rapid and efficient. Kenya, the world's sixth-largest exporter and Africa's largest exporter of avocados, continues to deliver high-quality haas avocados to China, which will not only benefit Ken fruit farmers, but also Chinese consumers.
On behalf of Kenneth Minister of Industry and Trade Betty Maiina, Osion thanked China for its long-term support and praised the efforts of various departments and enterprises in China, saying that this was a historic moment. Avocados play an important role in both the agricultural economy and export trade, and their successful exports provide an opportunity to narrow the bilateral trade deficit.
Zhang Yijun, David and others witnessed the first batch of fresh avocado sealing and shipping ceremony, and visited the fresh avocado packaging factory.
