Kabondo is suitable to farming avocados, so the community is looking into growing avocados as an income-generating project. The fruit would be sold for food and processed into value-added products, such as oil for beauty products or food preparation.

A biologist, a food engineer and a few other creative thinking Neighbours from Australia, UK and the US researched avocado farming techniques, options for cold-processing the fruit and organizations that purchase avocado products.

Mary from the U.K. even conducted tests in her kitchen to discover the best method for extracting the oil. Raul from Australia researched oil extraction methods, as well.

Next, Neighbours and the Local Community will choose the best ways to turn the pits, skin and pulp into income.
