Lack of market for over 20,000 avocado farmers in Busokelo, Rungwe District, Mbeya, will now be a thing of the past, thanks to the launch of a company that will buy the crop.
Rungwe Avocado Company Limited (RAC) – which was launched yesterday - will be buying the crop from 20,000 outgrowers and employ 135 full-time members of the staff.
