The avocados are grown by small farmers in a natural environment. Many growers combine avocados with other crops between the trees. This mixed cultivation keeps the agricultural system diverse, supports healthy field ecology and helps the soil remain productive.
Soil fertility is enhanced through the use of cattle manure and on-farm compost, supported by practical field training. Green ground cover and deep-rooted elephant grass help prevent erosion and protect the topsoil.

Biodiversity as a strength
The orchards are managed without synthetic crop protection products. A diverse flora attracts birds, insects and other wildlife, supporting a resilient ecosystem.
Intercropping — avocado with corn, macadamia, papaya, coffee and bananas — creates a strong agroforestry system that is ecologically and socially sustainable.
