About us
Our young company is based on three important pillars: quality, speed and reasonable prices.
Quality
By delivering quality, we want to meet the wishes and expectations of you as a customer. All products are carefully selected by us so that we know what we export and sell to you.
Quality is guaranteed by us at all times and you can be sure that our products reach you and your customers fresh and undamaged.
Speed
More and more, speed has become an important pillar in international trade. Consumers expect to receive their products in a very short period of time. The promise ordered before 5 am and delivered tomorrow has become the rule rather than the exception. We as Rainbow Fruits Ecuador guarantee that your questions and assignments will be handled and executed as quickly as possible.
We aim to do this the same day or, as an exception due to the time difference, the day after. Our goal is to get the products delivered to you as quickly as possible.
Reasonable prices
When determining our sales price, we naturally take into account all the costs of the journey that our fruit will make. We pay fair prices to our suppliers so that they and their families are paid fairly for all their efforts to produce the fruit as well as possible.
Mission
To offer a service of quality, safety and innocuousness from the production to the commercialization of fruits and vegetables to fully satisfy the requirements of our clients, collaborators and the community in general through the attention and management of highly trained personnel; based on ethical and responsible business management, based on a focus on sustainability and innovation.
Vision
Position the fruit and vegetable products that we sell in international markets in the short term, through continuous innovation in products, processes and management, generating added value to the production of Ecuadorian farmers, providing a product and service excellence that allows us to be recognized for the quality and safety of our products.
Quality, safety and control
Exporting the best fruit is the best advertisement we can make for ourselves.
There are also strict controls on the part of the government before the products can be exported as we need a certificate before our products can take the plane.
The phytosanitary and export control certificate will be issued by the phytosanitary and zoosanitary regulation and control agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries
Fair prices and fair trade
The fair trade principle
Fair prices and fair trade are important concepts for our company. That is not so easy because the economy does not know the concept of ‘fair price’. After all, the ’fair’ price is decided by the market: if there is more supply than demand, the market price falls; if there is more demand than supply, the price rises.
But, an example: We also work with small producers who cultivate 1 or 2 hectares. If the price is reasonable, the whole family of the producer can live a simple life on it. If the price is low there is not enough income to live on. We have seen that in some families the mother and father are forced to work outside their home and that sometimes children of 5, 6 or 7 years old do the work on the plantation instead of going to school.
We at Rainbowfruits believe that this should be prevented. We hope and trust that you as a buyer will go along with this: it is about the difference between getting the most out of it or offering the small producers a fair price and thus a fair life.
Our farmers
Meet our farmers from all over the country
We support the fair trade principle. We want our suppliers and the employees they employ to gain a better place in the supply chain, so that they too can live off their work and invest in a sustainable future. After all, together we make the world fair, with equal opportunities for everyone.

After working in the legal sector in the Netherlands for a number of years and having traveled extensively, I thought it was time to broaden my horizons: there are many beautiful countries in the world to live in besides the Netherlands. Other cultures and a different climate always attracted me.
After a 5-year long stay in Costa Rica, I ended up in Ecuador where I now live and work for 18 years in agriculture and tourism and recently in the export of fruit. I am fascinated by the land, nature and people. Ecuador has many types of fruit to export. My dream is to introduce them to people in other countries.
My passion is to deal with customers and I think it is important to strive for perfectionism: satisfying customers is number 1 in the relationship with them. Together with confidence and speed, our company must be and become a success.
I live in the capital Quito and have a son; my hobbies are cooking, collecting local art and karaoke.

I have always worked for companies in sales and customer services. Several years ago I had a venture that did not last long. I had a job proposal and I left it aside. At some point I wanted to study agronomy but my thing is business. I specialized in marketing and sales.
Exports of food products have a lot to do with social development. The intention is that small producers can have greater possibilities of growth with our company. The idea is not only to sell but to grow with them and support them with better practices. I like to help others by generating sources of employment or better yet, to see the community grow. The idea of starting a business too is for my daughter Sara to learn that helping others through her own actions is possible and is her motivation for the future.
In the company my main role is to manage and coordinate that logistics is fulfilled. The fun is that we complement each other, so the client has the best of each one.
I have always lived near Quito because I like the countryside and green spaces. I love dogs and an open place is better for my pets. My hobbies are cooking, traveling (anywhere) and the beach!

I am a professional in the field of agriculture and the environment. I work for a company that sells inputs for agriculture. Before I had a business in raising broilers, but due to instability (drop in the price of chicken meat and rise in balance) that affects producers, I closed the business.
I want to help the farmers of my country to export their products and that they receive a fair price for their effort, also to train them to be more productive and to use good agricultural and environmental practices.
The venture will help to get to know more producers in the country and see the reality and the conditions in which they produce fruits with export quality standards.
We do not want to reach the client from abroad only as a fruit, we want to arrive with a history and an experience that knows that by acquiring our products it is benefiting Ecuador and its rural reality, which is contributing to agroecological agriculture.
