Hass Avocado export process to the United States, countries of the European Union or other countries.
Our Hass avocado export process from the Republic of Colombia and from the Republic of Ecuador develops a series of steps and requirements.
1. Registration and compliance with the phytosanitary requirements established by the Agricultural Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in accordance with its current regulations. This implies the implementation of pest and disease control measures, as well as the certification of plants or fruits for export. For the countries of the European Union we must comply with the phytosanitary requirements established for importation; where it also implies that it must be guaranteed that the product is free of pests and diseases, and that it adequately complies with integrated pest management (IPM) practices. For other countries, for example, we must previously develop an investigation to determine the import requirements, their phytosanitary regulations and the commercial barriers that may exist. An example is China, which has high quality standards for imported products, so it is essential to ensure that the Hass avocado meets all the requirements for importation.
​
2. Certification and approval of the production system: It is necessary that avocado farms and producers in both the Republic of Colombia and the Republic of Ecuador comply with the standards established by the USDA. This implies the implementation and monitoring of good agricultural practices, as well as the certification of farms by authorized entities.
