Water conservation is at the heart of Westfalia’s sustainability strategy
Avocado producer and supplier pioneers a low-flow drip irrigation technique
Westfalia Fruit Group, a multinational supplier of avocados, fresh vegetables and fruit, is rolling out a sustainable water solution across its network of farms as part of far-reaching sustainability commitments.
The avocado producer and supplier has pioneered a low-flow drip irrigation technique that saves a significant volume of the water used to grow the crop, while also increasing the output and economic value of the fruit. It is estimated that the approach will bring an overall 50% efficiency boost in farms where it is implemented.
