Investment for Continued Growth
Leader in Fresh, Healthy, Convenient Foods
- Leader in several high-growth product categories, including: avocados, fresh-cut fruit, fresh-cut vegetables and guacamole
- Popularity of avocados has driven a +8% CAGR in US consumption over the last 10 years. With US household penetration still below other common fruits, consumption of avocados is poised for further growth*
- US consumers growing desire for convenient, on-the-go healthy foods is driving sales of value-added fruit and vegetables to outpace broader produce category growth, while deli also remains one of the fastest growing departments at retail due to prepared food sales**
- Consumers increasingly prefer refrigerated, fresh fruit and vegetable dips (including guacamole, salsas and similar dips) to their shelf-stable counterparts.
