Frutos de los Andes was founded by Giovanni, whose father is the original Fruandes mango farmer.

Fruandes now generates income for 384 families and a Venezuelan refugee couple have found a home & work at the mango farm.

Orlando’s banana farm generates income for family & local workers.

His half-brothers come from a complex area of Colombia. So the banana (and coffee!) farm has opened up new horizons.

Fruandes PIneapple was sourced for years from Cauca, a high risk area, from families with a strong commitment to their land.

Having to go organic for a viable future, Fruandes now source from a wider area.

Fruandes’ Pitaya is grown in Huila, in the south of Colombia.

Thanks to fair income, a number of SImon’s workers have been able to save up and buy their own pitaya farms, and employ more workers.

Uchuva was originally sourced from an association about to plunge into debt, when their potato harvest rotted.

Thanks to Fruandes, the community was able to progress, cultivating this lovely little fruit!
