At a time of increasing water scarcity, Organic Raingrown® demonstrates how organic cultivation using only natural rainwater leads to very substantial water savings — comparable to the daily water consumption of approximately 11 million Europeans

Organic Raingrown Avocados (ORA) – 1.4 billion litres

With 1.4 billion litres, Organic Raingrown Avocados will make by far the largest contribution to total water savings in 2025. This makes ORAs the backbone of the Organic Raingrown® programme and a structural pillar within the fruit and vegetable range.

Organic Raingrown Oranges (ORO) – 178 million litres

New to the range are Organic Raingrown Oranges (juice oranges) from Peru. Their launch in 2025 was the result of two years of intensive preparation, in collaboration with a cooperative of smallholder farms.

The OROs have been enthusiastically received on the European market and will therefore return to the range in 2026, available from June to September. In 2025, they achieved water savings of 178 million litres.

Limes

Moroccan limes provide breathing space in a tight organic lime market

Demand for organic fruit continues to grow, and organic limes are no exception. Their popularity is being driven partly by increasing demand for cocktails, mocktails and homemade lemonades, as well as their wider use in salads, curries and other dishes. Consumers are also increasingly choosing citrus grown without synthetic pesticides and without post-harvest fungicide treatment.

Kivinaki

Kivinaki ready for the new Organic Raingrown Oranges season

Ahead of the new organic orange season, our sourcing team visited Kivinaki in Peru. Over the past four years, we have built a successful export programme with this growers’ co-operative. During the visit, we worked together to prepare for the coming months.

Pineapple

Healthy soil makes organic pineapples more resilient

In Costa Rica, too, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent. Heavy rainfall, in particular, is making organic pineapple cultivation more challenging and requires growers to be adaptable.
