At a time when food security and sustainability dominate global conversations, Colombia’s Managro Group is stepping forward with a bold vision: to transform Latin American agriculture into a driver of innovation, resilience, and prosperity. Its recent joint venture with Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. is not simply a business expansion—it’s a statement to redefine what is possible for the region’s agricultural future.
The partnership expands Managro’s avocado and lime facility in Sonsón, Antioquia, boosting capacity to meet rising demand in North America and Europe. With the global avocado market projected to grow from $19B to $34B by 2034 and limes from $48B to $62B, the partnership positions both companies to capture a significant share of nearly $100B in combined market value. Together, they create a reliable, year-round supply chain that meets both market demand and sustainability expectations.

Managro’s strategy is deeply rooted in eco-conscious practices. By aligning agricultural expansion with low-impact operations, the company is showing that profitability and responsibility are not opposing forces, but mutually reinforcing drivers of long-term success.
The partnership with Fresh Del Monte represents a milestone, but more importantly, it symbolizes a new chapter: one where Latin American agriculture asserts itself as a source of innovation, resilience, and global leadership.
As the world looks for solutions to feed a growing population while safeguarding the planet, Managro’s example offers inspiration. It shows that when vision and collaboration converge, agriculture can become more than an industry—it can become a viable contribution towards a unified ecology.
