Peruvian Hass avocado, April to September
Peru is the world's second largest avocado exporter and Europe's main summer supplier. We source Hass from certified packing houses and check dry matter, calibers and pulp temperature on every lot before it is loaded.
Fills Europe's summer gap
Peru ships when Spain and Morocco are done and before Chile and Colombia peak. That is why it supplies most of Europe's summer avocados.
Calibers the market pays for
Rabobank's 2026 update notes that mid size Hass, calibers 14 to 18, earns a premium in Europe. We plan programs around the calibers you actually sell.
Traceable to the orchard
Every box carries packing house, lot and date codes. Our report links each pallet to the lot we inspected.
From orchard to export box
From the orchard to the packing line, every step is visible to you. We visit the packing house, sample each lot and follow the fruit into the container.
