Organic avocado producers in Navarra
- Xixo Ayestaran has become the first person to cultivate organic avocado in Navarra: He has planted 700 avocado trees in his Lesaka farmhouse and expects to market in 2024.
The news has been from Diario de Noticias, which has planted avocados on two hectares and, in the words of Ayestarán, it has the right weather conditions for it. “If you suffer this winter as 2021, I will be able to flourish in 2023 and market my fruits in 2024,” he said to the newspaper. Its main objective is the French State market, considered a success of organic products.
The fruit of Latin American origin is cultivated in the Spanish State, Andalusia, Canary Islands, Valencia and Cantabria. In the Lesaka estate, Ayestaran has planted two types: Hass and Lamhass, and 10% Bacon pollinators.
