The best that nature provides us.

We develop new avocado orchards with different varieties to provide the best taste and experience for consumers. To ensure the fruit grows healthily, we develop new market-leading rootstocks that are disease resistant and thrive in different climate conditions.

·      Premium quality fruit.
·      Environmentally adaptable.
·      Naturally selected.
·      Healthy trees.
·      Market leading rootstocks.
·      Disease resistant rootstocks.

More with less.

By efficiently planting more avocado trees per hectare, we sustainably use the soil. With proper management of airflow and light penetration, we grow more fruit in high-density avocado orchards.

·      More fruit per hectare.
·      Sustainable use of land.
·      Efficient use of land.

Every drop counts.

With low-flow drip irrigation, we deliver water directly to the base of trees with a slow and controlled flow. By doing this, we enhance water efficiency, nutrient delivery, and overall tree health while minimising environmental impact and water usage.

·      Promotes water conservation.
·      Precise nutrient supply.

A bug in the ecosystem.

Natural predators like scale eating ladybirds and lacewings are the natural guardians of our farms. These beneficial insects help manage pest populations, reducing the need for chemical inputs.

·      Reduced chemical inputs.
·      Sustainable farming.

Control the full harvest.

By using innovative smart technologies, we can monitor the dry matter values of full orchards without destroying any fruit. This helps to plan the harvest and supply chain more efficiently, resulting in a consistent, ripened end product.

·      Less food waste.
·      More consistent products.

No jet lag for our fruits.

When our fruits travel the ocean, we want their trip to be perfectly arranged. Using the shipping data, dynamic climate control manages the environment in which they are comfortably hibernating. Any ethylene that prematurely ripens the fruit during travel is captured to ensure a quality driven travel experience.

·      Freshest fruit on arrival.
·      Less food waste.

Creating the perfect avocado.

On arrival, the fruit is awakened from its slumber by changing the climate conditions and they continue their ripening process. In this process, we use non-destructive technologies to monitor our avocado’s ripeness levels. Different types of cameras and sensors analyse the fruit in multiple stages to determine when it is perfectly ready to eat.

·      Quality assurance.
·      Less food waste.

The best the fruit can get.

At Westfalia Fruit, our goal is to create the perfect environment to store and ripen our fruit. We use probiotic mists to combat yeasts and moulds. Meanwhile, filters purify the air in our ripening rooms to create the optimal conditions for the fruit to ripen.

·      Reduced levels of yeast and mould.
·      Higher quality end product.

Keeping it fresh. 

We use several techniques to extend our fruit’s shelf-life. UV light kills bacteria on the fruit surface, our MAP technology allows the fruit to breathe inside the package, and fruit coatings protect the fruit. Different products require different approaches. We use High Pressure Processing to extend our guacamole’s shelf-life.

·      Packaging is adjustable based on ripeness level.
·      Longer shelf-life

Consistency is key

Automated systems are used throughout the supply chain to guarantee a consistent weight, quality, and ripeness level per order. To minimise the risk of contamination, machines pack our fruit efficiently. 

·      Minimise safety risks.
·      Consistent quality.
·      Competitive pricing.

A true gem

The GEM® avocado is a unique variety that has natural gold flecks on the outer skin, a slightly nutty flavour and a smoother, creamier texture to its flesh, making it easier to scoop out than other cultivars.

·      Gourmet quality
·      Only available for our customers.

Nothing goes to waste

Every part of the avocado is useful. Fruit that is not sold as a whole, is fully utilised in other value-added products such as guacamole, avocado oil, beauty products, packaging and many other applications.

·      Zero food waste.
·      Full avocado based portfolio.
·      Uniquely available products.

Sweet sustainability

We pack your order in recyclable packaging like cellulose nets, recycled plastics, and carton boxes. Our packaging is even customizable to your specific needs. Our AvoExperts can be contacted to discuss the possibilities.
