The best organic grapes available year-round

 

The season of our South African organic grapes is now in full swing. These grapes, characterized by their full flavor and perfect texture, are a real treat for lovers.

However, the situation in South Africa is not without its challenges. Major delays in and around South Africa and Europe have somewhat hampered the delivery of our grapes. Despite these setbacks, we were fortunately able to provide well for our customers with established programs.

South Africa

Interestingly, despite inflation in Europe, demand for organic grapes was higher than last year. This may have to do with a strong mainstream market for grapes. Our plasticless packaging is also catching on well, creating additional demand for our limited available organic grape varieties.

We look forward to continuing the season in South Africa until around week 15. With a transition of a few weeks, we will transition the South Africa season into an offering with Chilean organic grapes. Please note that quantities of these grapes are limited and must be programmed and agreed upon by customers in advance to avoid disappointment.

After the South American period, European grapes will enter the market.... Starting with Spanish and Italian grapes, we will continue the season with Portuguese grapes from August through November. :. Then we will continue our overseas program so that our customers can enjoy the best organic grapes all year round.

We are proud of the steps we have taken and continue to take to provide our customers with top quality organic grapes almost year round. All of this is made possible by our dedicated growers and the hard work of our team.

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.
