picking directly from the tree to the basket and minimal human contact with the fruit, which ensures the “3 touches” rule of the fruit between the field and the packing house. Trained pickers also leave a tail 2 cm from the fruit to prevent secondary contamination of the fruit through the broken stem. Avocados meeting international quality standards should be harvested when they are ripe, clean, dry, and free from pests or damage. The ripeness of avocados is determined by their dry matter and oil content. The recommended dry matter content for fresh fruit is 21 to 25% and a minimum of 11.2% oil content. In addition to confirming the dry matter and oil content, exporters must have modern and suitable post-harvest processing technologies to be able to export quality avocados.
Packing
Work in the warehouse is carried out using electric forklifts to prevent smoke pollution. Typically, avocados are packaged in 4kg cartons or 10kg plastic or cardboard boxes for large importers who ripen avocados in ethylene chambers and repackage them for retail.
Final Product
Avocados are exported exclusively in controlled atmosphere refrigerated containers that release ethylene and prevent ripening. The temperature for transporting avocados is 4.5-5°C, which also slows down the ripening of avocados. Our avocados carry several important certifications, including EU Organic, Global GAP, GRASP, and SMETA, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and product safety.

Frequently asked questions
Why Smart Contracts?
Smart contracts are self-executing digital agreements that can automate the process of verifying and enforcing the terms of a contract. They are based on blockchain technology, which provides a decentralized, secure and tamper-proof environment for recording and storing transactions. Smart contracts can be programmed to trigger specific actions based on predefined conditions, such as the completion of milestones, the receipt of payment, or the delivery of goods. By removing the need for intermediaries and manual processes, smart contracts can reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve trust and transparency in business transactions.
