Our Organic Raingrown Avocado was awarded winner in the Fresh Produce, Dairy, Ice Cream & Cream category of the Bioproduct of the Year 2025 competition (Netherlands), during the Bio Network Dinner on 5 June. A wonderful recognition, based on 50% consumer votes and 50% jury evaluation.
We’re proud of this unique product – and especially of the growers who, in a market dominated by large-scale, anonymous avocado production, consciously choose organic and fair. A sustainable choice that keeps inspiring.
Earlier this year, the avocado won the True Price Award 2025 and finished in the top 3 of the Fruit Logistica Innovation Awards 2025.
To grow the Organic Raingrown Avocado, only natural rainwater is used, without irrigation with expensive drinking water. On average, this method saves about 200 litres of water per avocado.
This year, we have already saved over 550 million litres of drinking water this way. That is comparable to the annual water consumption of almost 11,000 Europeans.
The avocados are sourced from Kenya, Tanzania, Mexico and Brazil. The variety from Kenya is available with Fairtrade certification and also contributes to a Living Wage for the warehouse employees.
A sustainable choice that continues to gain appreciation - in trade and among consumers.
The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.
Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
El Niño is clearly affecting the South American mango season this year. Higher temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns are disrupting flowering, making availability and harvest timing less predictable.
