We now also supply a wider range of fresh fruit including mangoes, blueberries, pomegranates, apples, grapes, stone fruit, citrus, cherries and passion fruit. These expanded production capabilities, together with our ripening and packing proficiencies, enhance our profile as the #fruitexperts, particularly in markets where there is high demand for top-quality fresh and value-added produce. Processed products on offer in specific markets include flavoured and plain avocado oils, avocado puree and guacamole, IQF avocado pieces, HPP products and dried fruit.
