Fyffes, a well-known name within the tropical produce market, has been in operation since 1888, making them one of the oldest distributors in the industry! Fyffes specialises in growing and ripening bananas, pineapples, melons, plantains, avocado, cassavas, and other exotic produce.
Fyffes’ banana orchard in sunny Costa Rica needed rejuvenation and required a cultivator capable of performing both deep and shallow work. The goal was to preserve moisture in the fertile soil while preparing it for the upcoming year.
The Väderstad TopDown was Fyffes’ desired machine for the task because it excels in performing multiple operations in a single pass and ensures a perfect soil mixing every time. Its durable discs can be fine-tuned to the ideal depth directly from the tractor cab to achieve optimal soil preparation.
