Avocado oil is growing in popularity in Africa, but how is it made? 

exactly

The refining machines are 20× more expensive! That's why many producers go for crude! Can go upto 3mil. Usd

Absolutely. It’s then exported to USA and other European countries where we pay about 1600 shillings for 16oz bottle

The real issue i'm having with your comment is that the bottleing of avocado oil does not add much value, this man already added most of the value to the product by transforming it. The issue is that he is not compensated fairly for the value he added through the transformative process ... The italian embottling company is the one grifting. I dont know much about trading deals between kenya and italy, but it might have set up this predatory situation.

Sounds like a good idea and it's always good to have value added products, but there are thousands of considerations to take into account, from secure energy to processing to controls to investments. IDK anything about the process itself, nor if it's worth it for this item to be manufactured locally vs. it being exported. It sounds good, but Kenya(?) may find more value in exchanging raw food stuffs for a tech transfer, for instance. You're looking at a very low-tech operation here. This looks like an operation that could be in Europe in the early 1900's. It's on it's way and that's good, but it's far from 1st world, international standards. Right now, this is not a high-tech, high value operation. Infrastucture; roads, reliable electricity/energy will determine first what is possible. While being a nice product, Avocado oil is not high on the "to do" list. It's downstream from more pressing considerations. This video is basically a "shout out" to possible investors. If you feel the way you do, put some $ together, go bribe some officials and invest.

@@handlenot030 ironic because Italy is known for their olive oil-based cuisine?

It called branding, the made in europe brand is saw as more valuable then made in africa

@@sakurakou2009 Africans should see more value in a made in africa brand

Africa is where the journey begins, Shame organisations like Innovate Uk taking advantage of remote farmers! Repugnant 🤢

You mean exporters

What the cost in ksh.

Avacadoes are fetching good money in Europa America and even China and many peoples are ripping big in my Motherland kenya but to value addition the way to go.+44

People have been pressing olive and other fruit oil since the ancient times, where exactly is the ingenuity?

it would be better to make multiple product from the avocado and export that instead. 10x

@@barrytelesford5265 This guy is OK. I just wonder what level of education Kennedy has. He is a genius.

Am glad I landed on this it has blown my mind, though I have great appreciation for the innovation

@David Davis. I understand the powdered avocado seeds are used in managing some heart diseases from time immemorial.

Wow working place so clean

Value addition the way to go pround of my MOTHERLAND Kenya Avacadoes as super food are fetching Markets all over the World Europe And America and China also but the farmers have to come together and do away with the Middlemen/Brokers and and mitigates how to exports their produce..they get 10 to 20 shillings for 1 Hass avocado that less than 40 pence in UK and we are buying them more than 1£ and 50 pence

Avocado residue is toxic to chicken 🐓. Great as manure.

yeah that is good reuse of most of the inputs.

Looks like the water evaporates freely to air

Very true cows love eating ovacado too even when it's bad

You're right on! That's exactly how I would like to do in many African countries, including buying up thousands of hectares of farmland to community-based farming.

Shame that they have to sell outside Africa , the company is good for kenyan employment opportunites but fellow african countries are still suffering unfair trade with this foreign countries

Thinking about Avocado farming

amazing! might try avocado oil ;)

Waste can be used as animal feed

There is no waste in this system. He is making biocharcoal used as an energy source to the boiler.

Freeze drying. Freeze drying would be the answer.

Most Avo oil is fake and or mixed with other oils! Google it!

Shut up, Lady J. Loving Kindness

Alpine Agribuz

My thoughts as well. It can be a good feed for animals

If you have avocados, you can make oil by your self. Niko Tanzania, na Huwa natengeneza kidogo kwaajili ya nywele.

Seeds are processed to go back to the farm as fertilizer.

Great

I saw a video of a startup using it to make leather.
