About APEAM

The quality of Avocados from Mexico is first
assured by strict quality standards established
by the Association of Michoacan Avocado
Growers, Packers, and Exporters (APEAM*) —
the trade group that represents Mexico’s avocado
industry and requires that all orchards are
immaculate and free of fallen fruit.

Quality stamped by the USDA

Avocados from Mexico are then subject to stringent regulations of the U.S. and Mexican governments, including rigorous sanitation, packinghouse, and shipping procedures. Shipments at the U.S. border are inspected by the USDA and SAGARPA, the Mexican counterpart — then inspected again by the USDA after they clear customs.

Freshness assured by speed and savvy

To ensure freshness, Avocados from Mexico go from tree to table in just 4 days — faster than any other avocado. What’s more, U.S. importers have special pre-conditioning facilities that ripen Avocados from Mexico on demand, allowing you to use them ASAP.
