Moving production indoors to controlled environments is helping ensure a consistent supply of vegetables — and now, increasingly, fruits, too, Pure Flavor said.

The company recently shared that it broke another record in its 2022-2023 fiscal year, importing 2.48 billion pounds of avocados.

The NMB presents the annual award to a retailer that offers strong, consistent support to promoting the consumption of mango.

The new award-winning tomatoes are called Monet Red and Bellavina.

To support grocery retailers’ sustainability efforts, Villita Avocados has launched a first-of-its-kind plastic-free bag.

Sunkist Growers has promoted Cassie Howard to the role of senior director of category management and marketing.

According to Pure Flavor, this new acquisition is a strategic move to help the company better reach the Midwest area.

Mucci Farms has entered the greenhouse fruit arena, producing strawberries under the Smuccies brand names.

The role’s objective will be to drive mango awareness and consumption.

The first half of 2023 was a great one for berry volumes and quality, said Jim Roberts, president of sales for Naturipe Farms.
