This week: AgriExpo Orgánico in South America (with Eosta support)

 

On Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 November the AgriExpo Orgánico will take place in Chile. AgriExpo Orgánico is the leading organic trade fair and congress in South America and will be held online this year, because of Corona. The event, which is sponsored by Eosta, is accessible for free. You can subscribe here: https://www.aoachile.com/agriexpo/.

The AgricExpo Orgánico will address organic cultivation in various South American countries this year, such as Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay and Cuba. Eosta supports the event to stimulate ongoing development of organic farming in South America in times of Corona. The focus of the congress is on regional development, not on export, said Eosta CEO Volkert Engelsman.

Eosta has long standing relationships with organic growers in South America, including growers of blueberries, apples, avocados and citrus fruits. For example, meet our Chilean blue berry grower Andres Vergara via code 338 at www.natureandmore.com.

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.
