07/21/2022 VISA Tour

We went to Visa, a family-run pineapple company where we learned about their processes and other fruits and root vegetables they sell. I was able to try a rambutan today and it was so good, I think it is one of the craziest fruits I have eaten as the outside is bright red, hairy, and waxy to the touch. It tastes very similar to a grape but it has a big pit in the middle that you have to eat around. During the tour, it was very clear that it is a well ran, clean facility as we were instructed to not wear jewelry, wear hair nets, and wash our shoes before we entered the warehouse. This company has incredibly high standards to meet in order to maintain and receive certificates including one from the FDA. This was one of my favorite business tours and I will look forward to looking for their products in the US. Later that day we worked on our presentations about different Costa Rican companies and their sustainability efforts.
