Tropical Fruits

Fresh & IQF

Tropical Fruits

Cold-chain tropical fruit, IQF or fresh, sourced from Ecuador's coastal farms.

What is it?

The story behind the product.

Ecuador's coastal valleys and equatorial climate produce tropical fruit that ripens slower, develops more sugar, and travels better than fruit grown closer to the tropics' edges. Our portfolio focuses on three flagship SKUs: yellow and red pitahaya (dragon fruit), Tommy Atkins and Kent mango, and Cavendish banana.

Fruit is harvested at controlled ripeness windows, pre-cooled within hours of picking, and processed either as fresh export-grade or as IQF (individually quick-frozen) cubes, halves, and purees. Cold chain is unbroken from field to your cold storage.

We supply foodservice, smoothie programs, retail produce, and ingredient buyers worldwide.

Sourcing

From producer to pallet.

Our fruit comes from family-run farms in Manabí, Guayas, and the Santo Domingo corridor — regions that have been growing tropical fruit for export for three generations.

Every grower is audited annually for residue limits, water management, and worker conditions. We share the audit reports with our buyers.

Equatorial sunlight and volcanic soil — that's the whole secret. Our job is just not to mess it up between the field and the freezer.
