Mexico: Coliman expands with organic bananas and Fresh-Cut

In December 2014, the company was certified by Fairtrade International to produce and export organic bananas, recognising it as one of the country's most reliable and environmentally-conscious producers. Sources from the firm point out that their plantations in the state of Colima have very favourable conditions for the production of the highest quality crop.

Continuing its strategy of constant innovation, in 2015 Coliman started a new project called COLIMAN FRESH CUT. The idea is to offer added value to its customers with convenient, ready-to-eat products that are also a healthy option.

A high-end processing plant with high sanitary standards was constructed for the processing of various fruits and vegetables in multiple presentations, according to the needs of each client. These new products will soon be launched both in Mexico and the United States.

Coliman products are exported to different countries. Demand for Coliman bananas has increased since 2012 in a number of European countries, especially Germany, the UK, Poland, Italy, Greece and the Netherlands, as well as in New Zealand, the United States and Canada.

Similarly, the demand and export of avocados is still rising in Asia, in countries like Japan, Singapore and China.

Moreover, the company is expanding its operations to Nogales, Arizona; a strategic location to better serve its customers in the United States and Canada.

Sources from Coliman point out that all these successes are the result of the high quality work carried out by the Coliman team in all processes, to which they pay special attention and care, since this is the key to achieving sustainable growth every single year.
