There is also a link to a recent blog posted on the company's website: What are the requirements to export organic avocados?
The requirements to export organic avocados are like those in force for other fruits and vegetables. They must have a series of distinctive characteristics, and although these can vary depending on the fruit's destination, many of them are common, such as having an organic certification.
The organic production rules have to be met during a transitional period of 2 to 3 years, during which chemical products cannot be used before the certification is granted. During this time, and after becoming certified, activities such as the selection of seeds, the maintenance of soil fertility, the recycling of organic matter, water conservation or the control of pests and diseases have to be carried out.
Also, several criteria must be met regarding the use of organic fertilizers and inputs for the control of pests and diseases, since this type of agriculture tries to make maximum use of the soil's resources and its biological activity, while minimising the use of non-renewable resources. It also avoids the use of fertilizers and pesticides. In this way, both the environment and public health are protected.
