Burundi farmers unite to get fair prices for avocados
Briefly

Farmers in Burundi have seen a significant increase in avocado prices due to government intervention, with earnings rising from 10 cents to 70 cents per kilogram.
This new structure of payments through cooperatives allows for direct and timely payment to farmers, enhancing their financial stability and reducing exploitation by middlemen.
The cooperatives help organize the market for avocado exports, providing a protective mechanism for farmers while pursuing official recognition for Burundian avocados on international markets.
As we enhance our export regulations, we aim to establish a trademark for Burundian avocados to ensure they are recognized globally, elevating our market position.
