Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The multinational company Westfalia Fruit has announced an expansion of its avocado packaging facility in Chimoio in the central Mozambican province of Manica.<\/p>\n

According to a press release, Westfalia Fruit notes that this is \u201ca significant development that underscores its steadfast commitment to propelling Mozambique\u2019s avocado sector forward\u201d.<\/p>\n

It adds, \u201cWith a focus on fostering growth and innovation, the company is proud to unveil its upcoming packhouse expansion initiative\u201d.<\/p>\n

The company states that the upgraded facility will be completed by the second week of February 2024 to accommodate increased demand and to \u201creinforce Westfalia Fruit\u2019s commitment to community development and collaboration, thereby enhancing Mozambique\u2019s growing avocado industry\u201d.<\/p>\n

It concludes, \u201cthis packhouse expansion embodies not only the company\u2019s dedication to Mozambique\u2019s avocado sector but also signifies a significant stride towards reinforcing the local economy and promoting sustainable agricultural practices\u201d,<\/p>\n

Westfalia Fruto Mozambique is a Mozambican private equity company founded in 2013. The main shareholder with 75 per cent of the capital is Westfalia Fruit (Pty) Ltd, part of the Hans Merensky Holdings (Pty) Ltd group, a company specialising in the production, promotion, processing, packaging, and handling of tropical fruits. Hans Merensky Holdings is South Africa\u2019s largest avocado producer and exporter, and Europe\u2019s largest avocado importer.<\/p>\n

A 2020 case study by the British social investment company AgDevCo, which holds the remaining 25 per cent stake in Westfalia Fruto Mocambique, pointed out that \u201cin order to be sold on export markets, fruit needs to comply with international industry standards by meeting a set of phytosanitary and ethical requirements\u201d.<\/p>\n

It continued, to do this, \u201cWestfalia has facilitated their Global G.A.P certification by training [farmers] how to change their practices to comply with the trademark\u2019s standards\u201d.<\/p>\n

The study found that this has resulted in the first signs of what is known as \u201ccrowding in\u201d whereby government or donor investment in services and infrastructure acts as a catalyst for wider growth. In this case, investment by donors covering the initial cost of setting up certification compliance, which involves a range of new operational practices and record keeping, has provided increased opportunities for smallholder farmers.<\/p>\n
