We are a group of Colombian companies with more than 20 years’ of experience cultivating one of the most desired fruits in the world: the Hass avocado. We take care of every single step in the production chain, starting from the sowing of the trees in our plant nurseries, continuing with the selection and packaging process, and ending in the delivery to our final client.

Our origin

More than 20 years
of experience

Our purpose is to develop the Colombian agricultural sector through the sustainable production of the Hass avocado and its byproducts, keeping in mind the well-being of our clients, suppliers, contributors, and other groups of interest.

Our story

It all started in the year 2000 when a group of entrepreneurs from Antioquia believed in their dream of producing and exporting the best Colombian Hass avocado in the world. We sowed our first trees on a crop field in Rionegro (Antioquia). On March 5th, 2015, we sent our first shipment and from that moment on, the dream only became bigger, day by day.

We started consolidating ourselves with the best international registries and conquering more countries’ markets each day. Today we are recognized through our quality in the local market (BPA) as well as the international one (Global GAP).
