Millions of litres of drinking water saved

Sales of Organic Raingrown Avocado have already saved between 320 and 400 million litres of precious drinking water this year. This is equivalent to the annual drinking water consumption of about 6,000 Europeans. 

Sales of Organic Raingrown Avocado have already saved between 320 and 400 million litres of precious drinking water this year. This is equivalent to the annual drinking water consumption of about 6,000 Europeans. 

The Organic Raingrown Avocado is a sustainable answer to the growing global shortage of clean drinking water. This avocado grows entirely on natural rainfall and does not require irrigation with drinking water. 

Eosta imports Organic Raingrown Avocados year-round from Mexico, Brazil, Tanzania and Kenya, where natural conditions are ideal for this growing method. To keep the ecological footprint as low as possible, the fruits are transported to Europe by boat. 

The Organic Raingrown Avocado contributes to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 6: clean water and sanitation. Within Eosta, an internal water working group is actively pushing for more sustainable water use in agriculture - the Organic Raingrown Avocado is a tangible result of this

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.
