July 1st marks International Fruit Day, a moment to celebrate the fruits that nourish us and the growers who make it all possible. Behind every juicy bite of a blueberry, banana, or even cocoa bean, there is a story of care, precision, and innovation.
At Jiffy, we are proud to support fruit growers around the world with high-performance, sustainable growing solutions designed to make propagation easier, cleaner, and more consistent—no matter the crop or climate.
Supporting Growers from Root to Fruit
Fruit growers face a unique set of challenges: each crop demands precise soil pH, moisture control, and climate adaptability. Add to that the growing pressure to reduce agrochemical use and increase efficiency, and it’s clear that the right support system makes all the difference.
That is where Jiffy comes in. Our propagation and cultivation solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of fruit crops worldwide—helping growers save time, reduce risk, and achieve stronger, healthier plants.
- Pellets and Preforma for clean, uniform starts
- Growbags and Growblocks for efficient, soil-less production
- Substrates tailored to pH and drainage needs
- Pots with biodegradable options that lower plastic use and support sustainability goals
Fruits & Jiffy in Practice: Real Stories from the Field
Behind every successful fruit harvest is a strong propagation foundation—and Jiffy is proud to be part of that journey. From strawberries grown on raised benches to blueberries thriving in carefully balanced substrates, growers around the world rely on Jiffy solutions to reduce inputs, increase consistency, and grow more sustainably. In Colombia, the team at Comercializadora Macri transitioned to coco-based Jiffy Growbags for strawberry production and saw immediate results. “The Growbag pays for itself in environmental and human health benefits,” shared Yorlady Criollo. “If a grower has to bend down all the time, they get tired. This way, we harvest faster.” With elevated systems and precise fertigation, her team also reported stronger plants and cleaner fruit suitable for export.
Similarly, banana growers in Tanzania working on the Maua Mazuri project adopted Jiffy 7C Pellets for propagation and were able to eliminate the use of plastic pots altogether. “Transport is key… the pellet is biodegradable and leaves no plastic in the soil. It has simplified the work and improved our nursery success rate,” one grower reported. The team noted improved transplant survival, plant uniformity, and easier logistics, making it possible to expand propagation in a more sustainable way.
In cocoa nurseries, where uniformity and simplicity are crucial, Jiffy Pellets offer a clean, consistent solution that helps growers reduce plastic waste while producing healthy, transplant-ready seedlings. These formats are easy to transport and ideal for nurseries with limited infrastructure.
The Jiffy Advantage in Fruit Cultivation
From pH-optimized substrates to clean, uniform plug systems, Jiffy’s product portfolio supports the specific needs of fruit crops at every stage of production. By reducing agrochemical inputs, improving consistency, and enabling automation, we help growers build stronger systems from the roots up. So this International Fruit Day, we’re celebrating not only the fruits themselves—but the growers, innovation, and global collaboration that make every harvest possible.
