Eurofresh is a pioneer in organic avocado production, with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Founded in 2001 as a family project in Málaga, Spain, it has grown into an international benchmark in sustainable agriculture.

Today, we manage more than 3,000 hectares of farmland across Spain, Peru, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic, producing over 25 million kilos of fruit annually. In addition to organic Hass avocados, we also grow ginger, turmeric, lemons, mangoes, and oranges.
