Westfalia Fruit is recognised as the ‘AvoExpert’. In addition to our wide range of avocado products, we supply other fresh produce including citrus, cherries, blueberries, & many others, to international markets.
Investing in research & development (R&D) has opened up a world of possibilities for Westfalia Fruit. It has enabled us to enhance our farming practices and sustainability efforts, develop new fruit varieties, improve crop resilience, and reduce our use of natural resources like water.
We have a diverse global network of farms, partner growers and nurseries across different continents. This ensures our ability to deliver a wide variety of high-quality fruits. Westfalia Fruit uses sustainable farming techniques like mulching, integrated pest management and water conservation.
Specialised ripening technologies ensure our fruit reaches optimal ripeness and flavour before being shipped to retail and foodservice customers. We provide a superior eating experience by delivering ready-to-eat avocados year-round while extending shelf life and reducing food waste.
Our precious fruit is transported in a timely manner by shipping efficiently. The freshness is maintained by optimising the logistics and controlling the climate during transport. By choosing low-carbon shipping methods, we help to reduce carbon emissions.
At our modern processing facilities we carefully sort, clean, process and package our fruit to the highest standards of quality and food safety. We implement energy- and water-saving measures in these processes. Our whole fruit approach minimises waste and promotes circularity.
Our fruits are protected during transportation and in storage. We use sustainable packaging materials and minimise waste to reduce our environmental impact. Biodegradable, compostable or recyclable packaging materials are prioritised.
Our experienced commercial teams manage the entire sales process, from sourcing fruit to ensuring safe transport to its final destination. We advise our customers to make informed decisions that support them and a more sustainable planet.
Our well-established distribution network ensures our fruit reaches markets in a timely manner, providing consumers with delicious, fresh and sustainably grown products. Thanks to our global presence and integrated approach, we are able to distribute efficiently to our local partners.
Serviced by our technical departments, we continually focus on new cultivar developments, product innovation, ecologically conscious packaging, and other sustainability initiatives.
