The first containers of organic white grapes are on their way and available before Christmas. As one of the few importers, we deliver these organic grapes by boat. As always, demand for these first grapes of the season is high, so be quick to have them on the shelves before Christmas. 

Quality of the season 

Qualitatively, it looks like another good grape year. During our visit to our South African growers in November, we were able to personally inspect the harvest and discuss this season's growing conditions. The organic red grapes are starting to colour nicely due to the colder nights in the Orange River region, allowing us to supply both organic red and white grapes from January.

Sustainable and varied offer 

Until the end of May, we have a diverse range of organic grapes available, both white, red and black varieties from South Africa and Chile.  

Logistics and supply 

Logistically, everything is going according to plan at the Cape Town port. However, we keep an eye on alternative transport routes to keep the supply stable, should any problems arise.

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.
