We grow and export Hass avocados from Colombia.
We are a family-owned business based in Urrao, Antioquia, an agricultural region by nature. From here we manage the entire process: we plant, harvest, select and export directly to our clients, with no intermediaries. This allows us to ensure quality, traceability and reliability in every shipment.
What we set out to do, and where we are going.
Mission. We grow and export Hass avocados under high standards of quality, traceability and control at every stage. Our work meets the demands of international markets and is guided by principles of sustainability, social responsibility and continuous improvement.
Vision. By 2028, we aim to be a leading company in the production, commercialization and export of Hass avocados. We aspire to become a brand recognized in Colombia and worldwide for the quality of our products, ongoing innovation, and respect for the environment, for our team, and for those who believe in what we offer.
We export during two harvest seasons each year, shipping over 200 containers annually, all filled exclusively with fruit from our own orchards. The GLOBALG.A.P. certificate GGN 4050373777906 covers 100 % of that volume.
What guides us every day.
We believe that caring for the product begins by caring for the people who work the land.

The vision
A brand recognized in Colombia and worldwide for the quality of its products and its ongoing innovation.
Urrao: an agricultural region
by nature.
With ideal altitudes between 1,800 and 2,400 metres above sea level, a temperate and humid climate year-round, and fertile, well-drained soils, Urrao offers optimal conditions for growing high-quality Hass avocados. These natural advantages support stable ripening, consistent fruit characteristics and efficient agronomic management.
But Urrao is more than a productive territory: it is a place where agriculture is part of daily life. Located in the southwest of Antioquia, this region has a deep-rooted farming tradition that shapes the knowledge, identity and values of its people. This is where we chose to start, not only for its technical strengths, but because we believe in cultivating from places where agriculture is lived with meaning, commitment and experience.
