KENYA · GUIDE 0747 · EDITION 4.2
Fruit seedling nursery in Kenya
Raise or supply fruit seedlings with traceable propagation and applicable certification checks.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional fruit-nursery finishing batch: acquire 24 traceable grafted avocado plants of one supplier-verified named cultivar, maintain them under an approved nursery regime and conditionally dispatch 20 accepted plants. Record cultivar, rootstock information available, source nursery, graft/lot evidence and any certification actually verified. The service does not teach improvised grafting or promise a harvest date, yield, export market or universal site suitability. A plant's appearance alone does not prove its cultivar or certification.
Who is the first customer?
