Africado Ltd. is an agricultural company that was established in 2007 and grows and exports avocados. It is based in Northern Tanzania and specializes in the Hass variety.
The farm is situated at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, where the fruit is grown on the deep, well drained, red volcanic soil common in the area.
The soils and the climate found at Kilimanjaro are ideal for avocado production.
The company plans to grow other varieties of avocado and to diversify to other crops, e.g. blueberries (currently in a trial phase) and macadamia nuts.
