“We are passionate about passion fruit”

Jardin Exotics is specialised in the cultivation and export of passion fruits from Colombia. ‘Passionate about passion fruit: the fruit of love.’ That is what the company wishes to emanate. “We started producing and exporting passion fruit 9 years ago, and we also started supplying avocados this year,” says Juan Pablo of Jardin Exotics. The company employs 350 people who take care of the production and packaging of the passion fruits and avocados. We generate many jobs in the region and especially for single mothers."

Purple colour
Jardin Exotics is currently already exporting to Germany, UK, France and the Netherlands, and wants to reach more countries, including Italy, with their products. Pablo emphasises that their company focuses on quality. “We make sure our passion fruits have just the right colour, and are only then harvested and packaged. At the moment of harvesting, they have a beautiful purple colour and a delicious sweet-and-sour flavour.”

Exotic bird
The exotic bird in Jardin Exotics’ logo is special: a green parakeet with yellow ears (Loro Oregiamarillo). “This is an endangered species, and it represents the perfect animal in Colombia. We also want to emanate that perfection with our company, and supply our customers with perfect products. We want to show the best of Colombia to the world. We control everything: from production to sales, and we can therefore anticipate our customers’ demand.”
