The Fuerte avocado, known for its smooth, creamy texture and rich flavor, has been a favorite for decades. For Kongo East, exporting this prized fruit involves a carefully managed process that begins on the farm and ends with the consumer enjoying a perfectly ripened avocado. This article takes you through the journey of Kongo East’s Fuerte avocados, showcasing the dedication, quality control, and expertise involved at every stage.
Sourcing the Best Fuerte Avocados

The selection process is rigorous, with only the best avocados making the cut for export.
The Harvesting Process: Timing is Everything

This careful timing guarantees that the avocados will ripen perfectly once they reach their destination.
Post-Harvest Handling and Packaging
After harvesting, the avocados are transported to Kongo East’s packing facility, where they undergo thorough inspection and sorting. Each avocado is checked for size, color, and any defects. The avocados are then carefully packed in temperature-controlled environments to preserve their freshness. Kongo East uses eco-friendly packaging materials that not only protect the fruit during transit but also appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
Ensuring Quality During Transit
One of the biggest challenges in exporting avocados is maintaining their quality during transit. Kongo East utilizes advanced logistics solutions, including refrigerated containers and real-time tracking, to ensure that the avocados arrive at their destination in prime condition. The company’s logistics team closely monitors every shipment, making adjustments as needed to account for factors like temperature fluctuations and delays.
