Hi, I’m Sergio Lloreda, and together with a dedicated team at Ocati we grow organic passionfruit, known locally as gulupa, in Colombia for Nature & More. We started this company in 1988 with a clear mission: to produce and sell the highest quality organic products, support both local and global communities, and practice environmental stewardship through responsible farming and distribution.

Passionfruit from a tropical origin

Our passionfruit thrives in the tropical climates of Colombia, where rich soils, warm temperatures and expert cultivation techniques allow the fruit to develop its characteristic sweet-tart flavour and aromatic intensity. Passionfruit — often enjoyed fresh, in smoothies, desserts or savoury dishes — has seen growing popularity in Europe and beyond. 

A company rooted in people and sustainability

At Ocati we believe that quality goes hand in hand with people and planet. We take great care of our workforce by offering fair working conditions, financial support systems and educational opportunities that extend beyond the farm. This long-term investment in our team enhances wellbeing and contributes to resilient rural communities. 

Environmental commitment

Our environmental commitment includes sustainable water use, responsible energy management and active biodiversity support. In one example of this, we have planted thousands of hardwood trees on our own properties and support reforestation efforts to protect native ecosystems and water sources. 

Passionfruit for every season

Ocati has pioneered processes to make organic passionfruit available year-round, even offering steady supply via maritime transport to Europe without compromising fruit quality. This approach allows customers to enjoy fresh, organic passionfruit regardless of season.
