THE ROOTS OF OUR FRUIT
Our parent organizations are the Association of Avocado Exporting Producers and Packers of Mexico
(APEAM) and the Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association (MHAIA). The two entities collectively
represent:
Farmers
APEAM represents more than 34,000 Mexican avocado growers across more than 40,000 orchards.
Packers
There are 84 packing houses in Mexico represented by APEAM.
Importers
Hundreds of importers and distributors in the U.S. are represented by MHAIA.
It was the first time in history that two international organizations came together and, under the
Hass Avocado Promotion Research and Information Order with oversight by the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA), they created a unique company charged with the dual responsibility of promoting a
brand for Mexican avocados and growing the demand of the precious fruit throughout the U.S.
Since then, the company has taken a unique and innovative approach to establishing Avocados From
Mexico as a top U.S. avocado brand by delivering creative ways to not only fuel
America’s appetite for healthy eating, but by also significantly contributing to the economy
through thousands of newly created jobs and billions of dollars in economic output as a result
of U.S. imports of Mexican Hass avocados.
HOW WE BUILT A BRAND
WE ARE THE TOP AVOCADO BRAND IN THE U.S.
By applying the CPG mentality to a package-free fruit, as well as a novel approach to corporate culture, we have established Avocados From Mexico as a top selling brand in the U.S. for avocados. Our innovative approach continues to drive our high-performance team to share their unique culture throughout the U.S. and spread the vibrant magic of our company’s essence:
MEXICANITY
All of this fuels the aspiration of Avocados From Mexico to be one of the most highly valued produce brands in America.
