Meet Eosta at Fruit Logistica in Berlin (4–6 February) and connect with our team to discuss the latest developments in organic fresh produce.

Carpe Diem has been a trusted partner for our organic grapes from South Africa for many years. This week, the first Early Sweet grapes will be harvested and shipped, so that — assuming normal transit times — they will be available before Christmas. Once again, the quality is excellent, with good size and high brix.

Increased volume, strong quality and a rapidly growing market are putting pressure on availability.

At the end of November, we visited ProPlum, our stone fruit grower in South Africa. Our visit during the harvest season was greatly appreciated by Paul Roos senior and junior and their team, and gave us the opportunity to see the fruit during the harvest season, just before it was shipped to the Netherlands.

Week 12 marks the start of the Tanzanian season of award-winning Organic Raingrown Avocados! Grown on 100% rainwater, these premium avocados contribute to a more sustainable future. Organic Raingrown is available year-round, with origins from Mexico, Tanzania, Brazil and Kenya. 

In early October, the EAT-Lancet Commission published the report Healthy, Sustainable, and Just Food Systems. The report builds on the influential 2019 EAT-Lancet report, which introduced the Planetary Health Diet, and is the most comprehensive scientific analysis of global food systems to date.

The season for limes from Peru is in full swing and the quality is excellent. Supply is stable and we expect several containers during the festive season. This ensures reliable availability during a period when demand traditionally increases.

The United Nations has declared 29 September as International Day Against Food Waste. In light of this, many countries are drawing extra attention to the prevention of food waste in September and October, such as Waste-Free Week in the Netherlands, the Zu gut für die Tonne! campaign week in Germany, and various public campaigns in France.

Autumn is coming – the perfect time to put the Cold Mix on your shelves. Ginger, lemon and turmeric are popular with many consumers as natural immune system boosters. Together, they form a mix that is ideal for tea, shots and smoothies. 

The Organic Raingrown Avocado programme has already saved 610 million litres of precious drinking water through September. We are currently in the middle of the Mexican season for these rainwater-grown avocados. Meanwhile, Morocco is preparing for the start of the new organic avocado season. This ensures a stable supply throughout the year. 

As winner of the True Price Award for our Organic Raingrown Avocado, we received a special prize: a Vegan Food Tour in Utrecht. A tasty reward - but above all an inspiring example of how sustainability, consumer experience and taste reinforce each other. 

WADDINXVEEN, Netherlands, 14 August 2025 — Eosta, the leading European organic fresh produce importer-marketer, is continuing to the lead the way in the organic fruit category with the introduction of high-juice Jucy Gold Organic Raingrown oranges to Europe. The arrival of the first volumes from Peru, in collaboration with a traditionally juice-focused grower, marks another market first for Eosta, demonstrating the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation in the organic segment.
