Territorio Aguacate 2026

MEDELLÍN, Colombia – Today marks the start of Ocean Network Express's presence at Territorio Aguacate, the premier meeting point for Latin America's avocado value chain held on November 4 and 5 at the Plaza Mayor convention center in Medellín. Welcoming visitors at Booth #56, the local ONE team is introducing Colombian producers and exporters to its portfolio of high-tech refrigerated transport solutions and strategic ocean routes, designed to strengthen the competitiveness of national agriculture in global markets.

Playing a vital role in moving perishable cargo across the region, ONE Colombia is placing a special spotlight on CONTAINER+, a digital system providing end-to-end visibility for refrigerated containers. Developed to mitigate risks and maintain the quality standards demanded by international markets, the platform enables exporters to monitor their shipments in near real-time from a single dashboard, tracking key indicators such as:

  • GPS location and continuous power supply status;
  • Temperature and humidity levels throughout transit;
  • Internal atmospheric levels (O² and CO²);
  • USDA cold-treatment probes, essential for phytosanitary compliance in highly regulated markets.

This visibility facilitates the rapid detection of operational deviations, allows shippers to leverage historical voyage data for better decision-making, and coordinates commercial and logistics teams with the direct backing of the carrier’s specialists.

Advanced Solutions for Preserving Colombian Avocados

Guided by the ONE Keeps Cargo Fresh commitment, ONE provides the Colombian market with one of the newest and most modern fleets in the industry, featuring an average container age of just six years and a capacity exceeding 334,000 TEUs. For delicate commodities such as avocados, the shipping line implements specialised technologies to safeguard fruit integrity:

  • COOLXTEND CA: An advanced controlled atmosphere system that actively regulates internal gas composition, slowing ripening and extending produce shelf life on long-haul voyages.
  • COOLXTEMP: A customised thermal treatment process during transit, engineered to strictly satisfy international cold treatment protocols.

Cartagena as a Strategic Hub: The FLX (Florida Latin Express) Service

Another key focus for ONE Colombia at the event is the promotion of the FLX (Florida Latin Express) service, an agile corridor designed to shorten distances between Latin America and major consumer centres across North America and the Caribbean. Leveraging the Port of Cartagena as a strategic transshipment hub, the service offers competitive transit times by linking the West Coast of South America (including ports such as Callao, Guayaquil, and San Antonio) directly to primary ports on the US East Coast, including Port Everglades, Philadelphia, and New York.

Throughout both days of the fair, ONE Colombia's commercial and operational teams are available to meet with attendees and demonstrate how modern infrastructure, smart tracking, and efficient connections deliver tangible value to the Colombian avocado export sector.
