When eating a fruit think of a person who planted the tree
Our aim is to get the best quality products possible, all year around. To do that Ripe Now has looked further into, and integrated itself in the supply chain.
Ripe Now is working very closely with APEXKO SARL - an exporter in Ivory Coast. It doesn’t only insure a fixed supply of mango fruit during one of the most difficult periods of the year, it improves the local community too. Around 4,200 people in Ivory Coast are involved in APEXKO’s exporting activity.
In 2016 Ripe Now planted its first mango trees in Peru. This way we can monitor and improve the fruit quality from the very beginning. The land features a high technology irrigation system and will be ready to harvest in 2021!
