#DidYouKnow? " Fresh “ethnic” vegetables (okra, bitter melon, African spinach, etc.) and fresh roots and tubers (yam, cocoyam, orchid tubers, Jerusalem artichokes, etc.) are also increasingly exported to the EU. This is linked both to demand from the African diaspora, and also the growing interest in ethnic foods in Europe. Today, roots and tubers are no longer limited to ethnic shops and restaurants, with large supermarket chains including them in their product range. As with other fresh ethnic vegetables, export volumes of ethnic roots and tubers to the EU from sub-Saharan Africa have doubled in the past 10 years."

FPEAK was part of the working groups which developed the Good Practice Guides for Avocado and Beans and Peas in Pods. The two GPGs which were launched on 3rd May 2023 at Mercure Hotel, Nairobi, are supposed to help Kenya to maintain their market share of the two value chains in the EU and UK. Exporters are expected to use the two documents to ensure that they are using good practices on both National and International Market Requirements. The process was supported by COLEAD.link through the NExT Kenya program. Download GPG Avocado Value Chain here: https://lnkd.in/dEWCwuNa Download GPG Beans & Peas here: https://lnkd.in/dwBKuRhc
