World Food Day focuses on Living Wage

 

At Eosta we believe in enjoying good food and improving the world at the same time. On 16 October, World Food Day, we participated in a panel discussion on Living Wage in Amsterdam. Our Marketing manager Marie-Ange Vaessen stated that Living Wage is a must, if you want to make the food system sustainable. Eosta now supplies mangoes, avocados and passion fruit with a Living Wage promise. Retailers, however, seem reluctant to communicate about it. Marie-Ange: "Supermarkets all over Europe are buying our avocados at a Living Wage price, but they don't inform consumers about it. In this way the system gets stuck. When you educate consumers, they are motivated to pay a decent price and can make an informed choice."

Let’s refresh the food system and grow food in a way that makes the income gaps smaller!

A detailed report of the Living Wage meeting can be found here.

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.
