africaJUICE produces Fair Trade and conventional passion fruit and mango products. We will produce single strength (not from concentrate) juices, concentrates and purees and will be able to supply associated products such as aroma, seeds, oils and pulp.
One of the key advantages of the Upper Awash valley in Ethiopia is that it can produce fruit all year round. Passion fruit and papaya from the region are already proven to yield fruits all year round and we will have mango available for most of the year.
We will also start the development of other fruit products, including pomegranate, avocado, acerola and more niche tropical fruits such as pitahaya, cactus figs and local fruit varieties. We expect these to come to market from 2012 onwards.
Our development plan also includes an evaluation of citrus fruits, especially lemon and limes, but also orange and grapefruit, which already is grown commercially in the Upper Awash region.
The management and operation of the whole supply chain from plantation, through processing and transport will be focused on delivering the highest quality levels. We plan to be HACCP and ISO9001 certified.
Our aim is to deliver exactly what our customers want. Please contact us to speak about your specific product requirements.
