I returned to the office after a week of vacation today to a new vegetable to keep an eye on. The avocado.
They are primarily grown in the Mbeya region, in southern TZ near the Mozambique border. These Haas avocados fit the bill for export -- which strengthens TechnoServe's ability to meet USAID requirements as well as diversify the proposed program revenue streams.
Avocados are huge here -- about 4x the size of what one would buy at the store in the US. With the mix of fruits, vegetables and some of the spices I am now researching, I am pretty much marketing Tanzania's future in fruit smoothies and guacamole.
