Questions buyers ask

Before you request an offer

Which countries do you export to?

We ship to importers in Europe, the United Kingdom, the Gulf states, Israel, India, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and across Africa, and supply value added products to the USA and Canada. Each market page lists the products, compliance, logistics and season calendar for that destination.

Can you open a new market for us?

Yes. Our consultancy division prepares exporters for new markets, from certification and phytosanitary requirements to buyer introductions from our global buyer databases.

Our partners

Independent quality control and transparent trade, built into every shipment

Two partners work alongside our own team on every export programme, so buyers see the fruit before it sails and know the price before they commit.

Fruit Quality Studio Africa

Independent avocado quality control, the Kenyan arm of Quality Studio Europe. Every consignment is inspected at the packhouse before loading, with a preloading QC report on dry matter, defects, sizing and pulp temperature shared with the buyer, and arrival inspections on request in Europe.

SAFTA, Fruit Trade Assistance

Our partner international sourcing platform. SAFTA connects our fresh avocados to retailers, importers and buyers in Europe in a vertically integrated way: fixed and transparent pricing, cold chain from packhouse to destination, reliable buyer connections and SAFTA Rescue support for shipments in European ports, so growers and importers both know where they stand.
