“Buenos dias!” We are warmly greeted at Pedro’s company, located in an area at the foothills of the Andes. He has lived here all his life, he says. Pedro is one of the many growers who are affiliated with Ocati. It is a large export company in Colombia, which supplies around 15 types of tropical fruit. This includes the passion fruit, the edible fruit of the passionflower. It is native to this area, the Brazilian part of the Amazon. Passion fruit growing is not the only thing that happens here. There is a varied menu out in the fields: beans, tomatoes and potatoes.
