Colombian Tamarillo (Solanum betaceum): Premium B2B Solution for European Importers and Processors
Unlock the tangy versatility of Colombian tamarillo, known locally as tomate de árbol, for European importers, wholesalers, and food processors. This ovoid superfruit (4–8 cm long, 3–5 cm diameter) boasts smooth orange-red skin with lighter stripes, enclosing juicy, acidic orange-red flesh (9–10° Brix) perfect for sauces, juices, and gourmet applications. Sourced from sustainable highland farms, it offers traceable quality to expand your exotic portfolio, meeting rising EU demand for vibrant, vitamin C-rich tropicals with excellent post-harvest durability.
Packaging and Logistics Specifications for Scalable Operations
Packed in 2.5 kg boxes (L 40 cm x W 30 cm x H 9.5 cm) or bulk, with 96 boxes per air pallet (~240 kg net) and calibers (16–22 count) for uniform appeal in retail and processing. Year-round harvests ensure consistent supply, with full EU phytosanitary compliance including residue testing and certificates for seamless imports.
Economic Value: Cost Optimization for Processors and Importers
