Sixth African Avocado Congress Concludes – MGA’s One-Stop Solutions Draw Industry Attention

On May 29, the 6th African Avocado Congress successfully wrapped up in Kenya. As a major event in the global avocado industry, this year’s congress brought together growers, processors, brands, and distributors from around the world.

Magical Green Africa Foods EPZ Limited (MGA) – Sanmark’s first modern production base in Africa – made a strong impression at the event, showcasing high-quality avocado oil and one-stop customized solutions that captured the attention of professional attendees.

A full-chain customization service covering raw material sourcing, formula design, production and processing, packaging design, and logistics. This model directly addresses the pain points of brands and distributors. Many visitors noted that MGA not only provides stable supply chain assurance but also demonstrates strong R&D collaboration – a core strength built on Sanmark’s 27 years of deep expertise in the nutritional oils & fats sector.

“Internal quality is the foundation, but packaging is another business card we carefully craft.”
At the exhibition, MGA displayed a wide variety of packaging formats – glass bottles, spray bottles, flexible pouches, PET bottles, etc. – drawing significant interest. Sanmark has built a dedicated packaging engineering team focused on sealing, barrier properties, lightweighting, precise dosing, in-use preservation, and shelf-life extension. This reflects a balance between freshness and convenience, backed by real technical strength in R&D and quality control.
Notably, Sanmark’s avocado oil has successfully passed Cosmos-Approved raw material certification, offering natural cosmetic and personal care brands a highly competitive ingredient choice.

About MGA’s Production Base

Located in Kenya’s premium avocado growing region, MGA focuses on fresh fruit sourcing, local processing, quality control, and international supply – building a complete avocado oil value chain from African origin to global markets.

As part of the Sanmark global nutritional oil system, MGA inherits Sanmark’s long-term expertise in oil R&D, production technology, quality management, and international supply. It brings mature nutritional oil capabilities to the African origin, helping shift Kenya’s high-quality avocados from fresh fruit trade to high-value-added oil products.

Currently, MGA operates a dual-track model:

Bulk raw material supply for global manufacturing, retail, and brand partners

End-consumer product business, bringing avocado oil from African origins to households worldwide

MGA Core Operations

In July 2025, the avocado processing plant operated by MGA and invested by Sanmark began production in Kenya’s Export Processing Zone, with a daily processing capacity of 100 tons of avocados – enabling local production of crude avocado oil.

1. Origin operations & processing

Fresh fruit sourcing: long-term partnerships with local farmers, authorized agents, and partners to build a stable supply network.

Oil processing: high-quality avocados processed locally into avocado oil for supply to China and global markets, upgrading Kenya from fresh fruit trade to nutritional oil value chain.

Whole-fruit utilization: ongoing exploration of by-products (pulp, pits, peel) to enhance resource efficiency and extend the avocado value chain.

2. Global market supply

Bulk raw material supply for food, nutritional oils, personal care, pet nutrition, and other applications.

End-consumer products – gradually launching African-origin avocado oil products for global households.

Industry Standardization & Local Collaboration

MGA is committed to standardized management across avocado planting, fresh fruit sourcing, local processing, and international supply, promoting a more stable, higher-value, and sustainable avocado industry in Kenya.

1. Standardized cultivation
MGA promotes avocado breeding, cultivation management, and origin standardization. It has entered a deep collaboration with the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center (co-established by the University of Nairobi and the Chinese Academy of Sciences), focusing on improved breeding, standardized cultivation techniques, and industrial promotion – ensuring consistent quality and supply stability.

2. Industry co-building model
With local processing at its core, MGA establishes long-term fresh fruit sourcing mechanisms. As processing capacity grows, demand for quality local fruit increases, providing farmers with clearer, more stable sales channels – adding value through local processing rather than single fresh-fruit exports.

3. Community & sustainability
MGA works closely with local farmers, agents, and industry partners on seedling selection, pest & disease control, fertilization management, cultivation training, sourcing cooperation, and community education support. It helps origins build clearer quality standards, reliable sales channels, and sustainable cooperation systems. MGA adheres to sustainability and traceability principles – connecting Africa’s premium avocado regions with global markets through stable quality, transparent origins, and long-term partnerships.

From professional exchanges at the congress, to technology investments on the production line, to local value chain empowerment – MGA is committed to combining Africa’s premium resources with “intelligently made in China” capabilities.

The 6th African Avocado Congress has come to a close, but for Sanmark and MGA, the journey of deepening roots in Africa and serving global markets continues to move forward.
