National avocado intelligence
Kenya Avocado Atlas
A geo-enabled platform that maps and profiles Kenya's avocado sector. Farms, orchards, varieties, growing conditions and value-chain infrastructure come together in one place — from the national picture down to the individual orchard.

From Kenya to the ward
Start with the national picture and zoom through counties and sub-counties down to a single ward. Each level shows the farms, orchards and nurseries mapped there, with background figures where available.
Explore the Atlas
Three ways in, depending on whether you want to look, compare or learn.
Interactive map
Farms, orchards, trees, nurseries, ward boundaries and environmental layers on one map, with weather and rainfall history on click.

Four questions the Atlas answers
1.
Where is avocado currently being grown?
Mapped farms and orchards show the existing footprint of production, farm by farm, and roll up to ward, sub-county and county.
2.
What varieties are being grown, and how are they distributed?
Hass, Fuerte and locally reported varieties such as Golden are recorded at the farm level, revealing how the mix differs from ward to ward.
3.
Where are the most suitable areas for production?
Soil pH, texture and drainage combine with rainfall, temperature, elevation and slope to classify land from highly suitable to unsuitable.
4.
What interventions could strengthen the value chain?
Roads, market centres, aggregation points, nurseries and extension services are mapped alongside production to surface gaps and opportunities.
What the Atlas brings together
Farm-level data
Varieties grown, tree populations, tree age, production characteristics, farm size and management practices, compared across wards.
Biophysical suitability
Soil, rainfall, temperature, elevation, slope and land cover characterize the growing environment and feed the Avocado Suitability Map.
Value chain & infrastructure
Roads, markets, aggregation facilities, nurseries and extension services, analysed alongside production to show what helps or limits farmers' access.
Who it's for
An evidence base for everyone with a stake in the avocado sector — supporting decisions on production expansion, variety selection, extension targeting, market development and sustainable management.
