Hong Kong’s Best Organic Produce Delivery Boxes

A common complaint we hear all the time about Hong Kong is the lack of places to get premium quality, fresh organic produce delivery. While we might not have a large organic market available in town yet, the city is home to many fresh produce delivery companies offering organic fruits and vegetables from all over the world. From more budget-friendly options to zero-waste deliveries and pricier rare produce boxes – there is a subscription service for everyone!

We know that where the produce comes from is important. So we’ve gathered information on each company, where they have been certified organic from and by whom. We have also made it easy for you by pinpointing the best aspect of each company!
