Hi, my name is Hugo and we grow organic apples and pears for Nature & More in Argentina. As from week 10 the Wiliams Pears will arrive in the Eosta warehouse. The season is about to start, we are looking forward!
True Cost of Food
We will continue to compare and share the hidden costs of organic and non-organic apple and pear production. The calculations based upon a FAO model, prove that organic pears are not expensive and conventional is far too cheap.
Sustainable non local fruit?
It is a common misconception that ‘non local’ fruit is perhaps less ‘sustainable’. Many people immediately think that these products are flown in by air and therefore have a massive C02 footprint. We therefore welcome every opportunity to inform our customers and the end consumer that our apples and pears are transported by ship only. Furthermore independent studies show that the C02 emission of a fresh Argentinean pear is lower than that of an European pear that has spent months in special cooling chambers. At Eosta we focus on the sustainable impact which includes ecological as well as social issues.

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.
