Year-Round Premium Ready-to-Eat Hass Avocados at CENCOSUD
The national market division of Westfalia Fruit Peru, is Peru’s first endeavor to market year-round Premium ready-to-eat Hass avocados. We aim to satisfy the growing demand of Hass avocados with high quality service standards.
The tendency to eat healthy and high quality foods is increasing worldwide, and the ready-to-eat technology facilitates the immediacy of this consumption. Chile and Argentina have been able to develop their respective domestic markets by adopting this technology. In U.S.A. And Europe, the ready-to-eat business model has tripled the consumption of Hass avocados since it beginning, more than five years ago.
Ready-to-eat technology is centered around the fruit ripening process. The procedure is to introduce the avocado into a chamber to control temperature, humidity, ethylene and other factors. The ripening process takes between two and four days, and the result is a standardized quality product of homogeneous flavor and texture. Standardizing the quality during the 12 months of the year is of the utmost importance to us - and for our customers-, which is why we have sent our staff to train at our Westfalia Fruit partner companies in Holland and France, and we have brought International experts to visit our facilities to fine-tune the details.
