Westfalia Fruit’s first Hass avocado shipment arrives in India

This accomplishment comes after the finalisation of a long-awaited phytosanitary agreement between South Africa and India

Westfalia Fruit, a leading multinational supplier of avocados and a range of fresh fruit is proud to announce the arrival of its first-ever container of South African Hass avocados in India. This milestone marks a significant achievement in the company’s export efforts and the broader South African avocado industry.

This accomplishment comes after the finalisation of a long-awaited phytosanitary agreement between South Africa and India, the result of years of dedicated work to open this promising new market. The shipment, which arrived in time to meet the growing demand in India, is a testament to Westfalia’s commitment to expanding its global reach.

The geographical proximity of Africa to India provides South African avocados a competitive advantage over Latin American origins, which face longer transit times. India, a rapidly growing fruit market, offers excellent opportunities for South Africa, particularly during the April to October period.
