Living Wage avocados from Kenia, new season

 

The avocado Kenya season is about to start, avocado including the Living Wage premium! 

Our Living Wage avocados from Kenya are good for your health, for the environment and for local workers! Anthony Ngugi from Kenya is one of Eosta’s main avocado suppliers. Together with a group of local farmers he grows, sorts and packs your avocados. These organic avocados are not only good for your health, but they also have many other advantages too. They are grown in an agroforestry environment with mainly rainwater: so they are much more environmentally friendly than conventional avocados, using 17,6 liters of water less per avocado.

Living Wage
If you buy these avocados, you join us on our journey to support better income for the workers that packed the fruit. Our Living Wage assessment shows that it will cost only 2 cents per kg of avocados to increase the wages to Living Wage level. At Eosta we believe that everyone has the right to earn a “living wage”.  A living wage should enable an employee to be able to take care of themselves and their family members, both in terms of housing, food, education, clothing, healthcare and savings for unexpected events. With the organic avocados from Kenya, we are able to close the living wage gap.

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.
