Grows, packs and distributes avocados globally, and is one of the world's largest avocado suppliers.
Buys avocados from growers in Mexico, Peru and other regions and sells them ripened to retailers under volume programmes, earning the margin between purchase and selling price, while its own farms supply only part of the fruit. Ripening and distribution centres near customers, mainly in the US, handle delivery.
