AgroBerries Group has today announced that it is expanding into Lao PDR through a joint venture with the blueberry operator Mekong Blue, the Laos-based berry platform founded by Singaporean Mekong Blue Pte Ltd. This marks the Group’s first farming development in the region and includes a 150‑hectare blueberry project, with 30 hectares already planted. 

The first commercial volumes are expected in Q4 2026, supplying markets across Asia through the Group’s BerryWorld Asia division with selected premium Mountain Blue Orchards (MBO) blueberry varieties. 

Juan Pablo Lavín, Global Head of Farming for AgroBerries explained: “This is an exciting development for the Group. Having invested in our genetics portfolio and expanded our farming operations across South & Central America and Africa over recent decades, we are delighted to be working with a capable and experienced partner as part of our growth strategy for the Asian market.” 

Max Emden, Head of BerryWorld Asia added: “Laos offers a unique opportunity to supply the Asian market with high‑quality blueberries during a highly attractive window. By combining a strategic origin with a leading genetics program, we are well positioned to build a premium offering and accelerate our growth across the region.” 

The AgroBerries and BerryWorld Asia teams will be present at Asia Fruit Logistica. Meet the teams at Hall 5, Stand 5L41, from 2nd to 4th September 2026.
