At Edited Facta Fruits & Nuts Ltd, freshness isn’t just a promise—it’s a process. From the lush orchards of Embu, Kenya, to premium stores and processing facilities across Europe, we maintain rigorous standards to ensure our avocados and macadamia nuts arrive in peak condition.
Here’s how we guarantee farm-fresh quality across thousands of miles.
It Starts With Harvest Timing
Our farmers are trained to pick fruits at the optimal maturity stage—not too early, not too late. This ensures that by the time our produce reaches Europe, it has ripened naturally and retains peak flavor, texture, and oil content.
- Avocados: Harvested at the right dry matter content to ensure ripeness upon arrival.
- Macadamia: Collected when fully matured and sun-dried immediately to preserve oil quality.
Post-Harvest Handling: The Critical Hours
Immediately after harvesting, our team acts fast. The fruits and nuts are:
- Sorted and graded to remove any subpar produce
- Washed and cooled to stabilize temperature
- Packed under hygienic, food-grade conditions
We understand that the first 24–48 hours are crucial for maintaining freshness—and our supply chain is built around that.
Cold Chain Logistics & Smart Packaging
To maintain temperature integrity, we use:
- Refrigerated trucks from the packhouse to airport/shipping terminal
- Modified atmosphere packaging for sensitive produce
- Insulated containers for macadamia to prevent moisture exposure
Whether air freight or sea shipment, we monitor temperature at every checkpoint, minimizing spoilage risks.
Quality Control & Certification
Before any product leaves our facility:
- A quality assurance team conducts multiple inspections
- Produce is weighed, labeled, and documented
- Phytosanitary certificates, traceability codes, and relevant export documents are prepared
We’re certified for GlobalG.A.P., HACCP, and EU export standards, so our European partners can trust what they receive.
