The increase in avocado demand in recent years has been both remarkable and sustained. A more health-conscious consumer is looking for a versatile product, but the complexity of these delicate fruits means it takes a specialist company to fulfil high volumes and maintain quality. Fresca formed The Avocado Company in 2017; focus is on driving forward category performance for customers, sourcing quality fruit that’s sustainably grown and handled in the most efficient, shortest supply route possible. The company is opening new, exciting sources of avocados, working in partnership with growers around the world. Ripening expertise is key to delivering against customer expectations of quality, so investment in ripening and packing capacity is supporting The Avocado Company’s rapid growth.

Employee-owned An important part of the philosophy for Fresca Group is that employees should feel engaged, should feel that they can influence change and should be able to share in the reward of their work. The company grew very much as a family business for many years. The family feel has been retained but the introduction of an employee share scheme has meant that the proportion of the business owned by our employees has been growing steadily. Fresca is currently around 40% employee-owned, making us one of the larger businesses of its kind.
