Having a substantial amount of land for production allows Coliman to fulfill the growing demand for organic bananas in the world. And having a technologically well-equipped and large packing house in Latin America helps them to control the growing process of their fields, from planting to harvesting to washing, and packing.
Currently there is a growing trend and demand for organic products with Fairtrade certification, especially from the United States and Europe. When buying products with these certifications, every purchase supports every worker at the farm and their family. The workers are then free to decide on how to use the funds from each box sold in a way that will best benefit them and the community.
Having their organic farms certified with Rainforest Alliance certification serves to eliminate bad practices that degrade and harm their soil and they protect the ecosystem as well as the protection of wild animals and waterways. This leaves a strong positive impact on the environment in which Coliman grows bananas.
Another advantage of Coliman Organics is their geographical location which allows them to have a more efficient logistics operation with shipments to the United States, Japan and Europe. Because of their available distribution channels Coliman is able to ship via any route: land, sea or air.
In closing, the location of their agricultural farms have a very important competitive advantage as they are close to maritime ports such as Manzanillo and Veracruz, thus allowing them to ship Coliman Organics, by sea, to anywhere in the world.
