Fight for 'green gold' as gangs target South Africa's avocados
BEIJING: On Aug 23, a ceremony in Beijing commemorating the arrival of the first batch of avocados from Kenya also served as a launchpad to welcome more African produce into the vast Chinese market. This follows the arrival of some 20 tonnes of fresh Hass avocados from smallholder Kenyan farmers in Shanghai on Aug 2.
That same day, the China-Africa Business Council released a report on China’s investments in African countries and said the two sides have made great strides in all-around, multilevel and wide-ranging cooperation over the past 22 years.
