Local at heart, Global by Nature
Consumer loyalty towards locally grown produce is a feature of many markets in which we operate. Though encouraging consumption, maximising choice and ensuring year round availability of family favourite fruits and vegetables inevitably requires procurement from further afield, in Dole, we believe in local.
By virtue of our on-the ground infrastructure and operations in key markets, our people across the world have forged close relationships with the very best local growers in individual markets and integrated local supply into our annual seasonal calendars for local customers. We work hand in glove with these growers across Europe and North America providing agronomic, technical, financial, commercial, marketing and promotional support to local farmers and placing their produce at the very heart of our product offering.
Our capacity to deliver both the very best produce from around the world alongside the finest home grown fruits and vegetables not only marks us apart- it reflect also our commitment to make a positive contribution to the markets in which we operate.
