Some background:
Through promotions, discounts etc, food is offered cheaper and cheaper, which tends to have a negative impact on the wages of farm workers and farmers at the start of the supply chain. In order to fight poverty and avoid global instability in the future, the wage gap must be closed. As a pioneer on the topic of living wage in the fruit and vegetable sector, Eosta has set up projects that enable farm workers to earn a living wage, rather than an unsustainable minimum wage.

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.
