GLC Cerritos, a premium sustainable grower, packer and shipper of fresh Hass avocados, announced the availability of its Mexican summer avocado program. Due to its vertical integration, sustainable practices and key location in the Jalisco region of Mexico, GLC can offer high-quality fresh Hass avocados during these key summer months.
Typically during July, August and September, importers, retailers, foodservice operators and wholesalers must source volumes from outside North America. Now with GLC, customers can stay sourced with high-quality Mexican avocados year-round.
“We believe excellence is a habit, not an act, and it shows through our pack and farming practices,” said Saul Medina Tejeda, executive director. “Our sustainable farming methods and vertical integration demonstrate our respect for the land, and our dedication to quality shines through our superior packhouse and supply-chain measures.”

Partnering with GLC as a supplier of Hass avocados means:
• Year-round supply direct from the grower; GLC has over 2,900 acres of Hass avocados in key areas of Mexico with varying altitudes to provide supply throughout the year.
• Purchasing sustainably grown fresh Hass avocados; GLC fields are Global Gap and Rainforest Alliance certified.
• Supply-chain management; GLC controls the fruit from the field to our superior packhouse and direct to the border.
• Respect and integrity; GLC respects your business, our business, people and the environment. These values are at the center of our business and partnerships. We do what is right with all stakeholders in mind.
In 2022 the region of Jalisco was opened to export Hass avocados to the United States. Because GLC owns 2,900 acres of this preferred avocado, it was among the first to ship when the border opened.
