Avocado grading and packing house

Process & quality

Four stages of control, every avocado

Quality control starts in the soil, not at the packing house. That is how we deliver the consistency professional buyers expect in every shipment.

01

Orchard management

Nutrition guided by soil and leaf analysis, measured irrigation by block and ground cover to retain moisture. Every orchard block has its own records.

02

Hand harvesting

Fruit is clipped when it reaches the target dry matter. Harvesting takes place during the coolest hours, with transfer to the packing house within the same shift.

Grading & packing

Washing, drying, weight grading and individual visual inspection. Fruit outside the required size, color or firmness specifications is rejected.
