Who we are

From the grove to the pallet, under one roof.

Westland Fruit is a fresh produce company in West Greece. We grade, pack and label citrus, watermelon and asparagus at our own facility, and ship them ready for the shelf to customers across Europe, mainly in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

In the summer our range carries on with table grapes and stone fruit, so our customers can count on one partner well beyond the citrus season.
