E-book Avocado Production Manual
The geographic scope of FTFT-MnM encompasses 16 districts in the mainland, focusing on the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) - Morogoro, Mbeya, Songwe, Iringa - and 10 districts in the Zanzibar Islands of Unguja and Pemba. The activity uses a value chain approach to ensure integrated development. Interventions encourage the development of business relations; efficient transactions; and adoption of innovations and good business practices throughout the value chain. FTFT–MnM, in collaboration with other stakeholders in the avocado value chain in Tanzania, have prepared this Avocado Production manual, to help growers in Tanzania access the necessary information required for production, as well as for the export market. This manual contains several subject matters to consider, from land selection, seedling preparation and planting, site designing, harvest, and postharvest procedures required by the avocado market. In Tanzania, avocado production is mainly found in the southern highland regions of Iringa, Mbeya and Songwe, as well as the northern regions of Kilimanjaro and Arusha. Smaller scale production is found in other regions like Kigoma, Rukwa and Ruvuma which target local regional markets. The purpose of this manual is to help all avocado farmers, input providers, and exporters of avocado throughout Tanzania.
