22 de May de 2020 - 12:00 a. m.
Today, the first shipment of Peruvian Hass avocados arrived in Bangkok by sea, corresponding to the 2020 harvest season.
This important cargo of one of the most popular Peruvian "superfoods" arrived consigned to the company Vachamon Food Ltd., one of the most important wholesale fruit distributors in Thailand. On this occasion, 7 tons arrived, in addition to the 3 tons that were previously imported by the company by air.
The ambassador of Peru to Thailand was present at the company's facility in Rangsit, Pathum Thani, to receive, together with high-level executives of the company, this first large shipment that has arrived in time to meet the growing demand for the Peruvian product in the Thai market. On this occasion, the shipment consisted of 1,080 boxes of size 24 avocados, destined for hotels and restaurants, and size 30, smaller and preferred by local consumers.
Since last month, the Hass avocados started to arrive in Thailand by air, navigating the logistic difficulties and other issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The feat was possible thanks to the strong interest from wholesale importers and the Thai public, as well as to the work of various Peruvian entities, including the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA), which has audited 1,626 growers and 98 packing plants in Peru that meet the health requirements to export Hass avocados to Thailand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism.
2020 is the second year that Peru exports Hass avocados to Thailand in accordance with the phytosanitary protocol approved in May last year.
