In line with these achievements, Westfalia Fruit has introduced a subtle refresh to our avocado oil packaging.

Today, on World Avocado Day, we are proud to release our song “It’s Easy Being Green” to celebrate the avocado community in a new way. We are not turning into a record label, but at Westfalia Fruit, innovation takes many forms. Although we are known for developing sustainable solutions and advancing avocado science, we also look for new ways to connect with the people who enjoy our fruit every day. This track was created with the largest group of avocado consumers in mind: Gen Z and Millennials. Using insights into their musical preferences, we aimed to capture the mood, energy, and values that many now associate with avocados. It’s Easy Being Green is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, or your favourite streaming platform.

Our chairperson of Westfalia Fruit, Dr Khotso Mokhele, has received an honorary doctorate from the University of Pretoria in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to science, innovation and higher education in South Africa and globally. We are immensely proud of this achievement, which reflects the legacy of our founder, Dr Hans Merensky. He was a pioneering scientist and philanthropist, and he shaped Westfalia Fruit with a vision to use science for social good. He once said at the opening of the Hans Merensky Library at the University of Pretoria: “This country has given me so much that I am only too happy to be allowed to help it to develop in some way.” His values continue to guide our work today. Dr Mokhele’s recognition is a powerful reminder of the responsibility we carry to continue building on this legacy, using knowledge, innovation and leadership to create a lasting impact. #Leadership #Innovation #Legacy
