A Commitment to Sustainable Farming and Environmental Responsibility

At Cahero MenOro, sustainability is not just a principle; it’s an integral part of who we are and how we operate. Our commitment to environmentally responsible farming practices is central to the way we grow, harvest, and deliver our premium Hass avocados. As the demand for sustainably sourced products continues to grow, we recognize that our responsibility extends beyond providing high-quality avocados; it also includes ensuring that our farming practices are ethical, environmentally conscious, and sustainable for future generations. Through a focus on soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity, we work closely with our local partners to implement farming techniques that protect and enrich the environment while producing avocados that meet the highest standards of quality.

​

The foundation of our commitment to sustainability begins with our partnership with local farmers in Mexico. These partnerships are built on shared values of environmental stewardship and mutual respect for the land. We understand that the health of the land is crucial to the long-term success of avocado farming, and we take steps to ensure that every aspect of our operations contributes to the well-being of the soil. Our farmers employ sustainable practices such as crop rotation, the use of organic fertilizers, and the reduction of chemical inputs to maintain soil fertility and prevent soil degradation. These methods not only improve the quality of the soil but also help to reduce the environmental footprint of our farming operations.

​

Water conservation is another critical aspect of our sustainable farming practices. In many of the regions where we farm, water can be a scarce resource, making its responsible use essential for maintaining a sustainable agricultural system. To address this challenge, we work with our partners to implement efficient irrigation systems that minimize water waste while ensuring that the avocados receive the necessary moisture to grow. Drip irrigation, for example, is one technique used by our farmers that delivers water directly to the roots of the plants, reducing evaporation and runoff. By using water more efficiently, we are able to reduce the environmental impact of our farming operations while also supporting the health and growth of the avocado trees.

​

Biodiversity is another key element of our commitment to sustainable farming. We recognize that healthy ecosystems are essential for the long-term success of agriculture, and that biodiversity plays a critical role in maintaining these ecosystems. At Cahero MenOro, we encourage our farmers to create habitats that support a diverse range of plants and animals. This includes planting cover crops, preserving native vegetation, and protecting natural wildlife corridors. By promoting biodiversity on our farms, we are able to create healthier, more resilient ecosystems that can better withstand challenges such as pests, disease, and climate change. In addition, biodiversity helps to maintain the balance of pollinators and other beneficial organisms, which are essential for the successful growth of our avocados.
