Special Assistance For New Growers
Historically, Calavo returns more to the acre than any other avocado handler which is precisely why many of the largest growers and farm managers in California bring their fruit to us. Moreover, Calavo is the first name in avocados having introduced this pebbly green fruit to the U.S. in 1924.
Bottom line: There is no better home for your fruit. Calavo is the undisputed worldwide leader when it comes to packing and marketing. Better still, as the largest and most respected name in the industry you can expect payment like clockwork: checks cut by the 15th of every month.
