Packing Process
Follow the careful steps of our avocado journey—from sustainable farming and handpicking at peak ripeness to precise packaging and timely delivery—ensuring every avocado reaches you fresh, flavorful, and of premium quality.
Step 1
Intake Process
Upon arrival at our state-of-the-art packing facility, every avocado undergoes a meticulous intake process, completely separate from cleaning, to ensure that only the finest quality fruits continue to the next stage of packaging. Offloading with Care: The freshly harvested avocados are carefully offloaded from transport vehicles. Our trained team handles each fruit with utmost precision, ensuring no bruising, cuts, or other damage occurs during transfer. Every avocado is treated as a premium product from the very first touch. Initial Inspection: Each avocado is thoroughly examined for any visible blemishes, imperfections, or signs of damage. Only those that meet our rigorous quality standards are approved to proceed to cleaning, sorting, and processing, guaranteeing that our customers receive the freshest and most flavorful avocados possible.
Step 2
Processing/Cleaning
Avocados that pass the initial inspection move to our dedicated cleaning area, where every fruit undergoes a careful and thorough cleaning process to prepare it for packaging and shipment. Gentle Brushing: Each avocado is gently brushed to remove any dirt, debris, or leaves that may have adhered during harvest and transport. Our team takes special care to protect the delicate skin, ensuring the fruit remains pristine. Sanitization: Depending on customer requirements, avocados may be treated with a food-safe sanitization process. This step adds an extra layer of cleanliness, particularly important for export orders, guaranteeing the fruit meets the highest hygiene standards. Drying: After cleaning, the avocados are carefully dried using air blowers or a controlled airflow system. This removes any remaining moisture on the skin.
Step 3
Quality Check
Once cleaned, the avocados undergo a comprehensive series of quality checks performed by our trained personnel. These inspections, separate from the intake process, ensure that only the finest fruits move forward to packing. Size and Color Consistency: Each avocado is carefully examined for uniformity in size and consistent coloration appropriate to its stage of ripeness. This step guarantees visual appeal and optimal eating quality for every fruit. Blemishes and Imperfections: Our team scrutinizes each avocado for blemishes, defects, or irregularities that could affect its overall quality. Only fruits that meet our strict standards are selected for the next stage. Final Approval: Avocados that pass all inspections are then sorted and graded according to customer specifications. This meticulous quality control process ensures that every avocado delivered from ijengekenya meets our promise of excellence, freshness, and premium quality.
Step 4
Packing
We offer a range of packing solutions tailored to meet your needs. The avocados are first carefully sorted by size and grade, ensuring that each package contains fruits of uniform ripeness and quality. Customizable Packaging: We understand that different customers have unique requirements. Our team can create bespoke packaging solutions to meet your specific needs. Standard Crate Packaging: For our standard offering, avocados are gently placed in specially designed crates that safeguard the fruit during transport. These crates come in multiple sizes to accommodate various orders: 4 kg Crates: Ideal for smaller quantities or individual consumers. 5 kg Crates: Perfect for households or small businesses. 10 kg Crates: Suited for larger businesses or wholesale orders, ensuring safe delivery and optimal freshness.
Step 5
Cooling
Cooling Before Shipping Once packed, the avocados are carefully moved to cooling chambers to maintain their freshness and extend shelf life during transit. This step is crucial to ensure that the fruit arrives at its destination in perfect condition. Avocados are harvested while still firm and unripe, and cooling slows down the natural ripening process. By keeping the fruit at a consistent, controlled temperature, we prevent premature ripening, over-softening, or spoilage, ensuring the avocados remain at peak quality. Our cooling process is closely monitored by trained personnel to maintain optimal conditions throughout storage and prior to shipment. This ensures that every avocado retains its flavor, texture, and nutrient content. With this meticulous cooling step, we guarantee that customers receive fresh, premium avocados, ready to enjoy or use in culinary preparations, reflecting our commitment to quality from farm to table.
Step 6
Shipping
After packing, the avocados are carefully loaded onto refrigerated trucks managed by trusted logistics companies such as Maersk, CMA CGM, ONE, and Hapag-Lloyd. Each step of the loading process is handled with utmost precision to prevent bruising or damage to the delicate fruit. Our trained personnel ensure that crates are securely stacked, minimizing movement during transit. These refrigerated trucks are equipped with advanced temperature and humidity control systems, maintaining an ideal, consistent environment throughout the journey. This careful climate management slows down the ripening process, preserves texture and flavor, and protects the nutritional quality of each avocado. By combining meticulous handling, reliable logistics partners, and rigorous temperature control, we ensure that every ijegenkenya avocado arrives at its destination in perfect condition. From farm to table, our focus is on delivering fruit that meets the highest standards of freshness, quality, and taste, ready for consumers to enjoy at peak ripeness.
