Baika Mexico: Supplying avocados for 52 weeks

Baika Mexico , an avocado exporting company, has positioned itself as a key player in the US market and other destinations, supplying its clients with fresh, high-quality fruit year-round. Despite not currently owning its own orchards or packing facilities, Baika Mexico has achieved remarkable success thanks to its strategic focus on the efficient collection, processing, and distribution of avocados.

A legacy of excellence

Baika Mexico has a strong track record in the avocado industry. Its experience and market knowledge have been fundamental to its growth and successful market position. The company has earned the trust of its customers through its commitment to quality, efficiency, and personalized service.

One of its distinguishing attributes is its close collaboration with Naturipe Avocados, a leading company in the marketing and sale of avocados. This partnership has allowed them to export approximately 17 million kilograms of avocados in the last year, with a primary focus on the US market, which absorbs around 95% of their exports. This remarkable figure reflects a constant commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

The company operates 52 weeks a year, a unique achievement that guarantees a constant and reliable supply to its customers. Its main business partners include retail giants like Costco, Walmart, and HEB, for whom they process and package the fruit in specific formats before shipping it to the border city of McAllen, Texas. From there, their sister company in the United States handles the final distribution, ensuring that the products arrive fresh and in perfect condition to consumers.

Expanding horizons

Although the United States is its strongest market, Baika Mexico also exports to Europe, Chile, and Argentina, demonstrating its ability to adapt to different markets and meet diverse international requirements and protocols.

The avocado season in Michoacán, which runs from June to July, closed last season with an impressive production of 1,138,077 tons, demonstrating the robustness and efficiency of its supply chain.

In 2024, Baika Mexico is taking a significant step toward autonomy and full control of the export process. They are in the process of establishing their own packaging facility, which will be operational by the end of August. This advancement will allow the company to oversee every stage of the process and export, further guaranteeing product quality and operational efficiency.

Additionally, they are finalizing the necessary certifications for exporting avocados to the United States and other international markets. With certifications such as Primus and Smeta in their final stages, Baika Mexico will be ready to operate independently and directly with retailers like Walmart and Costco. This achievement will not only improve their responsiveness and flexibility but will also strengthen their position as a direct exporter with their own operations.

Finally, Baika Mexico is in a crucial phase of expansion and consolidation of its infrastructure. With the implementation of its own packaging and compliance with strict international certifications, the company is ready to strengthen its presence in the global market.

2024 promises to be a year of great achievements and growth for Baika Mexico , a company that continues to demonstrate its commitment to excellence and innovation in the avocado export industry.
