Unifrutti further expands its global multifruit platform into blueberries and avocados through the acquisition of Bomarea and AvoAmerica Peru
Unifrutti Group, a leading global producer and distributor of fresh fruit, announced the acquisition of 100 per cent of Bomarea and the Peruvian operations of AvoAmerica (AvoAmerica Peru) from the US-based agribusiness investment firm Solum Partners and the US-based fresh fruit and vegetables company Alpine Fresh.
The two acquisitions strengthen Unifrutti’s presence in Peru and enrich its multi-fruit portfolio with premium blueberries and avocados. Unifrutti is focused on growing and providing a consistent, secure supply of premium produce to its customers worldwide, and these additions underscore its commitment to meeting consumers’ demand for healthy and nutritious products.
With a combined area of close to 2,000 hectares, Bomarea and AvoAmerica Peru are recognised as leading Peruvian producers of premium blueberry varieties and avocados, respectively. The acquisition strategically positions Unifrutti to meet the growing demand for blueberries and avocados from a global customer base and increases its access to important markets including the US and China. Bomarea and AvoAmerica Peru will also continue to benefit from enduring relationships and established commercial partnerships, including ongoing collaborations with Alpine Fresh and Westfalia Fruit.
