Katopé Fruit Export (for citrus and deciduous<br />

trades the produce of 2000 ha of citrus<br />

two main products exported from S.A.,<br />

30% of them being their own produce.<br />

Citrus fruit shipment reached 1.4 million<br />

cartons last season, 400,000 being<br />

grapefruit, 250,000 easy peelers,<br />

and 850,000 oranges. Avocados are<br />

the main commodity exported, with<br />

2.1 million cartons. The European supermarkets<br />

are supplied with a full<br />

range of Hass and green skin avocados,<br />

Los supermercados europeos son suministrados<br />

con una amplia gama de<br />

aguacates Hass y de piel verde, con<br />

todas las certificaciones de calidad<br />

requeridas (Eurep Gap, BRC…). Cerca<br />

Around 10% of the crop is also Fair<br />

surpass 15% of the total production.<br />

Established as a specialized avocado<br />

marketing organisation, Katopé is the<br />

only one with “Ripe & Ready” facilities<br />

in UK and Europe. Lychees are also a<br />

growing specialty for the group.<br />

Oceanic, global sourcing<br />

from overseas<br />

The Hamburg importer mainly imports<br />

bananas from Central America (around<br />

20 million boxes from Mexico and Ecuador)<br />

as well as other fruit from South<br />

America, but operates directly from<br />

Southern Africa with its own facilities.<br />

Its cold stores are based in Cape Town<br />

and Durban, for the shipment of produce<br />

both from South Africa and Zimbabwe.<br />

Zimbabwe is Oceanic’s main<br />

source of citrus fruit outside Southern<br />

Africa, while the deciduous fruit<br />

comes mainly from South Africa. “Our<br />

own local organization looks after the<br />

fruit and controls the quality for our<br />

own company in Europe,” explains the<br />

managing director, who also ships to<br />

the Middle East (Dubai). A total of 2.5<br />

million cartons to Europe and more<br />

than 1 million to the Middle East were<br />

exported by Oceanic last season.<br />

The company also started to source<br />

produce from Egypt, as well as organic<br />

bananas and pineapples from Latin<br />

America.<br />

una organización especializada de<br />

marketing del aguacate, Katopé es la<br />

única con facilidades “pelar y listo” en<br />

Reino Unido y Europa. También están<br />

cultivando Lichies.<br />

Oceanic, suministro global<br />

de ultramar<br />

El importador de Hamburgo importa<br />

sobre todo bananas de Centroamérica<br />

(cerca de 20 millones de cajas de Méjico<br />

y Ecuador) así como otra fruta de<br />

Sudamérica, pero opera directamente<br />

de África del Sur con sus propias facilidades.<br />

Los almacenes fríos tienen su<br />

base en Cape Town y Durban, para el<br />

envío de la producción tanto de África<br />

del Sur como de Zimbawe. Zimbawe<br />

es el principal origen de cítricos de<br />

Oceanic fuera de África del Sur, mientras<br />

la fruta dulce proviene fundamentalmente<br />

de allí. “Nuestra propia<br />

organización local cuida la fruta y controla<br />

la calidad de nuestra empresa en<br />

Europa” explica su director, que también<br />

exporta a Oriente Medio (Dubai).<br />

Un total de 2,5 millones de cajas a Europa<br />

y 1 millón a Oriente Medio fueron<br />

exportadas por Oceanic la temporada<br />

pasada. La empresa empezó también<br />

a suministrar producto de Egipto, así<br />

como banana y piña ecológica de Latinoamérica.<br />
