Halls is a vertically integrated sub-tropical fresh produce business with global reach. More specifically, Halls specialises in the growing, sourcing, packing, ripening, distribution and marketing of quality sub-tropical fresh produce, especially avocado. Our expanded product suite includes mango, litchi, lime and pecan in addition to an ever-expanding range of other sub-tropical exotics and associated product lines. Halls has over 1,800ha of orchards under management, with operations in 4 countries and annual sales of more than 5 million cartons of avocado. Our business is based on the strong values and long-term partnerships that we share and build with all our stakeholders: our employees, our shareholders, our grower partners, our communities and our customers. Driven by the pioneering spirit embedded in our DNA, we continually seek ways to exceed their expectations. After 125 years of being in business, we are still 100% family-owned and a member of the HL Hall & Sons Group. Long-term sustainability is not just our legacy it is the essence of who we are. Halls' pioneering and adaptive spirit is evident in a family business that has not simply survived, but has flourished for 125 years. Today the vertically integrated fresh produce business participates in the full value chain, with a focus on ripe & ready products to meet the changing needs of the consumer. However, Halls' "soul remains in the soil" as it retains a firm foundation in farming.
