Description

Colombian Purple Passion Fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis): Premium B2B Solution for European Importers and Processors.

Unlock the vibrant potential of Colombian purple passion fruit, known locally as gulupa, for European importers, wholesalers, and food processors. This exotic superfruit (40–60 mm long, 40–50 mm wide) boasts aromatic, seed-filled pulp bursting with tangy-sweet flavor (12–16° Brix), ideal for seamless processing and high-value applications like juices, purees, and nutraceuticals. Sourced from sustainable Colombian orchards, fresh purple passion fruit provides a traceable, premium option to enhance your exotic fruit portfolio, meeting surging demand for tropical imports in Europe with superior quality and uniformity.

Packaging and Logistics Specifications for Scalable Operations Packed in 2 kg boxes (L 40 cm x W 30 cm x H 9.5 cm) or bulk options, with 96 boxes per air pallet (~192 kg net). Calibers (30–42 count) ensure visual consistency for retail, juicing, and HoReCa. Dual-season peaks (July–August, November–February) optimize availability, with full EU phytosanitary compliance (residue testing, origin certificates) for smooth exports.

Economic Value: Cost Optimization for Processors and Importers Edible pulp yield of 35–40% delivers ROI in beverages, smoothies, and desserts, with a nutrient profile rich in vitamins A and C for premium pricing. Low-waste logistics boost margins in bulk trade. Colombia’s passion fruit exports reached ~US$48 million in 2023 and ~US$57-60 million in 2024, with the EU capturing the majority (key markets: Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany).

Shipping & Returns

Incoterms & costs

  • We operate primarily under FCA / FOB – Bogotá (El Dorado).
  • International freight, insurance, duties, and last-mile are paid by the buyer (or the buyer’s forwarder).
  • If CIF–Airport is agreed, we quote freight + basic insurance to the destination airport; the importer handles customs clearance, local taxes, storage, and domestic delivery.

Preparation & origin handover

  • Harvest, grading, standardized packing (e.g., 192 × 2 kg per pallet), labeling, and full documentation (phytosanitary certificate, packing list, QA photos).
  • Handover to airline/forwarder in BOG according to your booking (FCA/FOB) or ours (CIF).

Returns & claims (fresh produce)

  • No physical returns due to perishable nature.
  • Quality/shortage claims accepted within 24 hours of receipt at destination with evidence: photos/video, AWB, packing list, and—when applicable—temperature logs.
  • Resolution via replacement in the next shipment or credit note pro-rata.
  • Exclusions: mishandling after airport handover, customs delays, seasonality variances, or any cold-chain break outside our custody.

FoodsMas Marketplace role

Specific conditions may vary by producer/season and will be confirmed in each proforma.

FoodsMas facilitates seller–buyer operations, standardizes quality & documentation, and coordinates origin logistics.

Delivery window

Indicative timeline (after order confirmation & payment/proof):

  • Day 0–1: Order confirmation, capacity allocation, harvest/QA scheduling.
  • Day 1–3: Packing (pre-cooling when applicable), labeling, ICA/phytosanitary documentation.
  • Day 3–5: Handover to airline/forwarder in Bogotá and departure on the next available flight.
  • Day 5–7: Arrival at destination airport and available for pickup (CIF) or arrival per your booking (FCA/FOB).

Important

  • Window depends on airline space, documentation cut-offs, phytosanitary controls, and weekly harvest cycles.
  • Under FCA/FOB, FoodsMas guarantees origin handover within the window; international transit depends on your booking.
  • Under CIF–Airport, ETA at destination can vary with handling and customs at the receiving airport.

Best practices

  • Coordinate with your forwarder for the shortest connection and required cold-chain settings.
  • Have your customs broker/importer ready to minimize destination dwell time.
