 In December, the Peruvian giant, which already has several thousand hectares of orchards in Peru (2 700 ha in early 2016), started an ambitious planting programme in Colombia. The objective of this first production investment outside of Peru was to have its own fruits year-round from 2022, taking advantage of the broad market window of this other Andean country. Camposol, which currently has 350 ha in Colombia, is planning to produce 40 000 t of Hass in the country by 2025 thanks to further land purchases. Other foreign groups have gone before it, including world leaders such as Mission (associated with the local producer Cartama) and Westfalia (in association with the Chilean company Subsole).
