About us
The World Avocado Organisation (WAO) is a relatively young non-profit organisation founded in 2016, representing avocado growers, national growers associations and importers from both the northern and southern hemisphere. These include growers from Chile, Mozambique, Kenya, Peru, South Africa, Spain, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, as well as importers from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and UK.
Grower and supplier members should hold GLOBALG.A.P certification and are encouraged to obtain other certifications and accreditations which demonstrate their commitment to sustainable and ethical practices across the supply chain. These include SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) and the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard.
