Packing of avocados is done in 4 kg gross boxes (cartons) with each box holding between 9 and 26 pieces of fruit depending on the size. In the case where the fruits are shipped by sea, the fruits are packed in 4 kg- gross open trays that are firm enough to withstand moisture in the controlled atmosphere . One box of fresh kenya avocado retails at around 4.5 US Dollars in Nairobi, packed and ready for shipment.
