Oxnard, Calif. – Westfalia Fruit, the world’s global leader of fresh avocados, has maintained a consistent supply of quality avocados for over 75 years and plans to do so for generations to come. To do this, Westfalia utilizes the world’s most diverse supply chain for avocados in multiple continents across the globe, allowing access to fruit during uncertain times no matter the preferred region.
Westfalia’s global footprint combined with its constant evolution of sustainable growing techniques and harvesting procedures ensures the delivery of ripe, premium avocados to their customers in innovative ways.

The avocados are grown and harvested in major regions, including Southern Africa, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and California. In addition to California, the North American distribution network also includes Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Illinois. Westfalia’s dedicated sales offices are strategically located in Europe, North America, Latin America, and Southern Africa to manage the entire sales process with customers, from sourcing the fruit, to its transport through state-of-the-art warehouses, all the way to its final destination.
“Providing the freshest possible avocados to the world has been Westfalia’s Mission for over 75 years,” said Raina Nelson, President/CEO Westfalia Fruit Marketing USA LLC. “Unlike other avocado competitors in the US, we are the growers and owners of the crop, as well as the source.
