Vertically Integrated Supply Chain:
Farming over 114,000 acres of production, Dole’s influence over production extends from farm to fork allowing us to assure best agronomic and sustainable practices right across the supply chain. Working hand in glove with trusted third party growers we complement our own range with produce from across the globe, all of which is subject to the same exacting standards as our own.
Local at heart, Global by Nature
In Dole plc we are committed to delivering the best of both worlds: the collective strength, reach and resources of the global leader alongside the local experience, expertise and services levels delivered by our on-the-ground operations across Europe and North America. Cumulative strength drives competitiveness, delivers synergies and efficiencies, adds value, extracts costs and sustains our competitive advantage. Empowered local management shape our business regionally – lending a focus and a flexibility to our operations borne from a deep understanding of each market’s unique dynamics. Together, it is a compelling combination.
By doing so we bring to bear the strengths inherent across our global vertically integrated supply chain: our infrastructure, our facilities and our resources while retaining the local focus necessary to provide bespoke services and products. This flexibility allows us to meet the needs of multi-national customers, better anticipate customer needs, preserve our relevance in the supply chain, manage contingencies and build our competitive advantage in the marketplace.
