Among the goals of the strategy are the creation of employment opportunities and windfalls in foreign exchange earnings from horticultural exports of superlative quality and quantities. The general idea is to boost horticultural exports from 850 tonnes in 2021 to around 2,000 tonnes in 2026. Another pivotal goal is to secure sustainable and classy export markets amid stiff competition – including, for example, China’s 1.4.4 billion consumer market for avocado imports, currently valued at $133 million a year. Indeed, Taha has not been lackadaisical in this. The nation’s horticultural game changer has been working in close collaboration with assorted major development partners on its strategy. These have included the US Department of Agriculture (USDA); the US Agency for International Aid (USAID); Plan International; Trade-Mark East Africa (TMEA); Andreas Hermes Akademie (AHA of Germany) – among others from Belgium and Finland.
