Del Rey Avocado is a leader in the area of social responsibility as demonstrated by our long standing commitment to being “Fair Trade Certified™.”
When buyers throughout channels of distribution and consumers make a choice to purchase “Fair Trade Certified ™” products they are helping families in Mexico improve their lives. With Fair Trade, agriculture workers are able to earn fair wages, work in safe conditions, protect the environment and keep their kids in school. Buying Fair Trade is an easy way to support the hard-working people who grow the products consumers love.
When farmers receive higher prices for organic crops and learn about sustainable farming practices, they are directly contributing to the future of sustainable agriculture. To learn more about Del Rey Avocado’s commitment to “Fair Trade” we invite you to watch the video below:
Our growing partners in Mexico along with our retail partners in the United States have had a significant impact by helping to increase wages, providing access to education and healthcare. In addition, farm workers in Mexico democratically decide how to use community investment funds that allow them to invest in their futures.
