Although a natural process, the ripening of an avocado is managed to perfection at Halls with the correct technical understanding both at harvest and during the ripening procedure.
The fruit is always shipped at low temperatures to hold it in a "sleeping" state throughout transportation. Depending on the customer's requirement, the fruit is then "woken up" to be delivered at the required stage of ripeness. Fruit can arrived "triggered" which then ripens through the customer's own supply chain, or is fully ripened and ready to eat. Halls has the experience and technical expertise to manage this process, ensuring an excellent eating experience.
With ripening, packing and storage facilities in South Africa, Paris, Marseille and Rotterdam, Halls can take the fruit from our carefully managed orchards all the way to our customers' doors. Our ready to eat avocados are sold under the Halls RIPE brand, packaged in a striking design to stand out on trade and supermarket shelves.

MINDSPARK LEARNING PROGRAMME
Mindspark is an adaptive learning programme which leverages AI and data-driven algorithms to identify learning gaps and provide personalised learning pathways to improve outcomes for participants.
The 30-month pilot, concluded in December 2024, was effectively implemented in six primary schools and 1443 students have already benefitted from the programme. Over 60% of students accessed Mindspark outside school hours, indicating high motivation and assessment scores indicate significant academic improvement.
Halls take great pride in our support of the project which is undertaken in collaboration with HG&H Pharmaceuticals and JET Education Services. The successful pilot has significantly contributed to transforming education in South Africa, enhancing personalised learning for students in Grades 4 to 7. Together we set the stage for a more promising educational future through the empowerment and education of young people where they can enjoy a better tomorrow.
