Avocados grow in Cibao, Baní, San Cristóbal and the south. Dominican avocados are popular with Caribbean and Latin communities in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Europe.
How avocados are shipped
- Refrigerated (reefer) containers at the right temperature and humidity; air for small, urgent orders.
- Careful packing in vented boxes to avoid bruising.
