Hi, my name is Andres and I grow organic pineapple for Eosta | Nature & More here in Costa Rica. Eosta is in a position to offer our organic pineapples with the True Cost calculation; the comparison of hidden costs of the pineapple production between organic and non-organic. The outcome confirms that when you include all costs, a choice for organic is better for everyone. Examples of these hidden costs are not only the costs of filtering water and restoring soil as a result of agrochemical pollution but also loss of biodiversity, climate change (as a result of fertilizer production) and the costs incurred for treating victims of pesticide poisoning.
The True Cost of Food campaign was developed in close cooperation with the FAO, Soil & More and accountant EY. Eosta CEO Volkert Engelsman explains: “we have developed a template to not only measure sustainability performance but also monetize it. The conclusion is crystal clear, organic is not expensive, conventional is too cheap and true cost accounting is becoming mainstream!”

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.
