Singapore, 29th July 2025 — DiMuto has successfully completed an AI-powered, traceable shipment of Peruvian avocados into China, working with one of the world’s leading multinational fresh produce importers. This marks a major milestone in applying real-time quality verification technology to one of the most important and high-compliance markets in global agri-trade.
For the first time, DiMuto deployed its proprietary PQAI (Product Quality Artificial Intelligence) system on a China-bound avocado trade. At the packhouse in Ica, Peru, PQAI scanned and analyzed high-resolution images of the cartons, detecting surface defects and generating real-time quality scores. These digital quality records were securely shared with the Chinese importer prior to export, allowing the buyer to verify shipment quality remotely before the container even left Peru.
Compared to traditional manual pre-shipment inspections, PQAI performs assessments in a fraction of the time, without the need for human input or delays. This not only speeds up the export process but also reduces inconsistencies and food waste. By identifying substandard fruit early and ensuring only the best-quality produce is packed and shipped, PQAI helps reduce rejections, spoilage, and food waste to ultimately support a more efficient, sustainable, and trusted global supply chain.
The shipment travelled via the newly launched Port of Chancay, which has quickly become a critical gateway for Peru–China trade. With shortened transit times of 23 to 24 days, the avocados arrived fresher, preserving quality and value. As the port is expected to move over 300,000 containers by the end of 2025, DiMuto will continue to use it for upcoming blueberry shipments and other trades between Latin America and Asia.
This trade also reflects the growing openness among Chinese buyers to adopt advanced technology that supports smarter sourcing. By verifying quality at origin, DiMuto enabled smoother customs clearance, reduced rejection risk, and provided the importer with confidence backed by objective data.
The success of this shipment highlights how DiMuto’s integrated approach to AI and traceability can be scaled across high-volume, high-compliance markets. It follows previous DiMuto-powered trades of Chilean cherries and Peruvian blueberries into China. With this avocado shipment, DiMuto has now enabled digital traceability across three key fresh fruit categories and plans to continue the season with additional Peruvian blueberry shipments.
“This trade shows what’s possible when technology meets global produce. By verifying quality upfront using PQAI, we are helping make the China market more open to smarter, data-backed trade. It is a major step for Latin America and for the future of trusted sourcing,” said Gary Loh, CEO and Founder of DiMuto.
For Latin American exporters, this milestone offers strategic value. Verified quality and traceability help differentiate Peruvian avocados in a crowded market and unlock better access to premium Asian buyers. With grounded data at the core, DiMuto is driving a new era of smarter, more transparent agri-trade that builds trust across borders.
