Rooted in Africa
Grown Responsibly

We build responsible avocado value chains, linking Africa to global markets.

From source to end markets

We manage the avocado value chain end to end, from farm to export. By working directly at origin, we secure quality, traceability, and reliable supply at scale.

Through long-term grower partnerships, local processing that converts waste fruit into value, and direct control of logistics and compliance, we deliver dependable volumes and transparent pricing for both producers and buyers.

Built for the long term

Trade Link operates according to four principles that guide how we connect origin to market.

Quality is embedded across production and processing, ensuring our products meet international specifications and professional standards. Reliability is delivered through coordinated operations, ensuring dependable volumes across markets.

We build sustainable value chains, investing in farming communities, and prioritising rainfed production and responsible business standards. Transparency defines our approach to pricing and partnerships, creating direct relationships between producers and buyers, built on trust and long-term collaboration.

Our Partners

Trade Link collaborates with public institutions, producers, buyers, and impact investors who share a long-term commitment to responsible growth and reliable supply.

Together with a local partner, we launched Zimbabwe’s first avocado oil processing facility in 2025. The facility converts surplus and reject avocados into crude avocado oil for international markets, creating value at origin while reducing post-harvest waste. By processing locally, the project generates additional income streams for producers and strengthens Zimbabwe’s emerging avocado value chain.

Favourable growing conditions Highland production above 1,000 metres, with suitable climate and soils and largely rainfed avocado cultivation.

Responsible and inclusive sourcing Anchored by a Rainforest Alliance–certified partner farm, with sourcing from over 200 smallholders in 2025, integrating both into structured value chains aligned with international market requirements.

Seasonal production Avocado sourcing and processing aligned with the local harvest season, with peak availability from Q2–Q3
In 2023, we partnered with a leading Tanzanian avocado exporter and processor to support on-site crude avocado oil processing. The facility converts reject Hass avocados into crude oil for international markets, providing structured market access and reliable volumes from one of Africa’s key avocado-producing regions.

Project highlights
Favourable growing conditions Avocado production is largely rainfed, with growing conditions that support consistent fruit quality and scalable sourcing.

Responsible and inclusive sourcing
Anchored by an organic-certified partner farm, with sourcing from 1500+ smallholder farmers in 2025.

Extended seasonality
Avocado sourcing and processing take place across an extended harvest window, with availability from Q1–Q3.
