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

Pulp yield of 60–70% (juicy and versatile for purees and condiments) drives solid ROI, enhanced by antioxidants for premium health products. Compact logistics reduce spoilage, improving margins. Colombia’s tamarillo exports reached US$8.2 million (2.81K tons) in 2023, with 2024 fruit sector growth of 35% signaling ~US$11M; EU takes ~60%, via Netherlands and Germany as hubs.

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.
