More about plums
Chilean strength, commercial scale
Chile is a leading global exporter of fresh plums, with strong volumes and an export-oriented supply chain. Hillfresh leverages this market presence to offer dependable programs backed by scale.
Varietal focus
We work with popular Japanese-type plums (including red- and black-skinned selections) that show solid export performance in recent seasons, well suited for retail and foodservice promotions.
Origins and seasons
Chilean and South African production underpins the Southern Hemisphere window, aligning with December–May supply into Europe depending on variety and year. This timing complements Northern Hemisphere sources for near year-round coverage.
Packaging and handling
To protect bloom and firmness, plums require careful grading, gentle handling and a robust cold chain. Programs are planned to match size profiles and color specs at dispatch.
