N&M: What is the latest news Robert?Robert: Apart from our origins South Africa & Chile, we are continuing with our developments in Peru. Last year we received our first containers lemons. This year we expect to scale up a little.
N&M: What are your expectations for the new citrus season?Robert: It is going to be an interesting season, as we are still within corona times: many things are out of the normal. Last year we witnessed a huge demand for citrus. We hope & expected a similar pull for this year.
N&M: What can customers expect from Eosta when it comes to lemons?Robert: Good healthy fruit, coming from reliable suppliers off course. Suppliers with a focus that goes way beyond the traditional way of farming organic.
N&M: Can you tell us something about the sustainability goals of the N&M grower?Robert: That is something we have a continuous focus upon. From each N&M grower we register their progressions on matters like climate, water usage, soil management, biodiversity, individual & society-related issues.
N&M: What about packaging?Robert: All our lemons can be packed according client specific packings. This year we have a special 6-kg Nature & More cartons with a specific track & trace code to our supplier.
Organic avocado supply from Mexico is building well, with good volumes and availability expected over the coming months. Currently, availability is strongest in the larger calibres [14–18], while smaller calibres are expected to become more available as the season progresses.
Behind our Mexican Organic Raingrown® avocados is Avova, a family business in Michoacán that Eosta has been working with for many years.
With the European blueberry season gradually coming to an end, the first organic volumes from South America are on their way. Peru will take the lead in the coming weeks, followed by supply from our long-standing growers in Argentina.
