  • Provided funding for specialized equipment to help a Civil Protection Organization detect ammonia.

HEALTH

  • Donated personal protection and hygiene equipment to first respond- ers for protection against COVID-19.
  • Calavo created a partnership to sell unused avocado skins and pits to a local avocado oil producer, using the proceeds to fund the construct of a recreational park in Paracho, Michoacán. The playground consists in a multifunctional court, with inclusive and adaptive features for people using wheelchairs. This project is estimated to conclude in later 2022.
