Fresh from nature — trusted by the world
Avocados grown
with care, shipped
with pride.
We grow, pack and export premium Hass avocados from Kenya's highlands to importers and retailers across the globe — full traceability, farm to seaport.
Our Story
Rooted in the highlands,
reaching the world.
Golden Pericarp began with a single family orchard in Kenya's fertile highlands, where the volcanic soil and cool, even climate happen to be some of the best growing conditions for Hass avocados anywhere on earth.
Today we work hand-in-hand with a growing network of smallholder farmers, paying fair prices for fruit we grade, pack and export ourselves — so every carton that leaves our packhouse carries our name and our standard, all the way to your dock.
Our Partners
Every carton carries
their harvest too.
Golden Pericarp doesn't just buy fruit — we build long-term partnerships with the smallholder families who grow it. Fair pricing and shared investment keep the highlands we depend on thriving for the next harvest, and the one after that.
Fair, Direct Pricing
We buy straight from partner farmers at published, above-market rates — no middlemen taking a cut of a family's harvest.
Training & Inputs
Our field officers run seasonal agronomy training and help farmers access quality seedlings, tools and organic inputs.
Community Investment
A share of every export contract is reinvested locally — school supplies, clean-water projects and grower cooperatives.
From our farms to the world
Five steps. One unbroken chain.
Tap a step to follow a single avocado from the tree to your table.
Harvest
Hand-picked at peak maturity by trained pickers who know exactly when each tree is ready — never stripped early, never left too long.
Sort & Grade
Every fruit is inspected by hand, sized and graded on our packhouse line against international export standards before it goes anywhere near a carton.
Pack
Graded fruit is packed into branded export cartons by weight and count, ready for cold storage and a documented chain of custody.
Cold-Chain Export
Temperature-controlled trucks move fruit from packhouse to port without breaking the chain — every degree logged, every hour accounted for.
Arrives Fresh
From our highlands to tables on the other side of the planet — fresh, evenly ripened, and ready to sell or serve.
Life on the farm
Behind every crate,
a highland community.

Why Partner With Us
Built for buyers who
can't afford surprises.
Unbroken Cold Chain
From packhouse to port to destination, temperature is monitored and logged at every handover — no gaps, no guesswork.
Full Traceability
Every carton can be traced back to the farm block and harvest date it came from — the records are there if you ever need them.
Compliant & Audited
Our farms and packhouse operate to recognised horticultural export standards, audited and renewed on schedule.
Farmer-First Sourcing
Fair, transparent pricing for the smallholders we work with — a stable supply base is good for them and for you.
Sustainability
Growing responsibly,
measured honestly.
Environmental, social and governance commitments aren't a footnote for us — they shape how our orchards are farmed and how our farmers are treated.
Agroforestry & Water
Avocado trees are interplanted with shade and cover species that reduce erosion, protect water catchments and sequester carbon in the highland soil across our growing area.
Fair Labour, Safe Farms
Living wages, protective equipment for pickers and packhouse staff, and equal opportunity for the many women who lead our harvest teams.
Traceable, Certified
Full farm-to-seaport traceability, backed by KEPHIS, AFA-HCD, KEBS, HACCP and Fairtrade certification on every export lot.
Carbon Credits
Low-carbon fruit, backed by the trees that grow it.
Our agroforestry orchards act as long-term carbon sinks. We're building a verified carbon-credit programme with our partner farmers so buyers can source fruit from a supply chain that's actively measuring — and reducing — its footprint.
Interested in a carbon-inclusive supply contract? Our export team can walk you through what's available this season.
Shade trees and orchard borders planted alongside every new avocado block.
Working with an independent registry to measure sequestration on partner farms.
