Good news! The first organic Williams pears from Argentina have arrived. Straight from the tree, for optimum freshness and flavour.
We expect several more organic varieties from Argentina in the coming weeks, in addition to Williams:
✔ Week 12: First red variety, Red Bartlett, available
✔ Week 14: Small volumes of d'Anjou available
✔ Week 16: Packham and Abate Fetel arrive
All varieties from Argentina are available with Demeter certification - the highest organic standard
This season, pears are larger in size on average, with smaller sizes being scarcer. This is a result of climatic conditions during growth, such as water availability, temperature and flowering.
Recent research by GroentenFruit Huis shows that the Netherlands leads the way in pear consumption: 2.8 kg per person by 2023, more than Germany (2.3 kg), the UK (2.3 kg), France (2.1 kg) and Italy (2.1 kg). Yet consumption is under pressure - and that's a shame for such a versatile fruit!
Pears are a fresh, juicy and nutritious snack - a perfect alternative to apples and, as an organic variety, ideal as a healthy snack for children. Their soft flesh and mild flavour make them popular with young and old alike. Time to highlight them again!
The CO₂ emissions from transporting fresh pears from Argentina are lower than the CO₂ emissions caused by storing European pears in cold stores for months on end? A fresh and more sustainable alternative!
Take advantage of the new overseas organic pear season and highlight these delicious varieties!

The Organic Fruit Heroes concept is growing as a fresh alternative in the children’s snack segment. The concept responds to a clear market need: only 42.5% of European children eat fresh fruit every day, whilst parents are increasingly looking for healthy, pesticide-free choices.
During a recent visit to Peru, Product Manager Jessica de Freitas and Sourcing & Procurement Director Dennis de Wit visited long-standing partners Pronatur and Jalhuca. Two different companies, with one clear common factor: strong organisation across the supply chain.
