Weeks
to secure a new avocado supplier
Supplying Europe’s top markets with premium avocados means more than finding fruit, it requires trusted producers, meticulous quality, and seamless trade compliance. For Westfalia Fruit in Portugal, meeting growing demand meant looking further than their usual network. That’s where Nexus came in.
The challenge was clear: source high-quality avocados from Mexico, meet strict European Union standards, and build a supply chain that could scale with the market. Nexus began by mapping the landscape in Michoacán, identifying producers with not just the right volume, but the certifications and practices that stand up to European scrutiny.
Our team visited supplier facilities, audited processes, and worked closely with growers to confirm that every avocado would arrive in optimal condition. Negotiations weren’t just about price, they were about building a partnership. Nexus handled communication, documentation, and coordinated each step, ensuring transparency for both sides of the Atlantic.
What started as a seasonal sourcing request quickly became a strategic partnership. Westfalia’s first shipments from Mexico landed on time, in perfect condition, and with full traceability. Today, they have access to a trusted network of Mexican producers—ready to meet demand year-round, no matter how the market shifts.
For Westfalia, the story is just beginning. Nexus continues to scout new growers, adapt logistics for changing volumes, and help the brand meet rising consumer expectations for quality and sustainability. Every shipment strengthens a supply chain built for the future.
"Working with Nexus transformed our approach to sourcing. Their hands-on support and supplier expertise made the process truly seamless."
