Fresh Del Monte Foodservice

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP) is a vertically integrated global producer, marketer, and distributor of fresh, fresh-cut, and prepared fruits and vegetables, with products sold in 80-90+ countries and trailing revenue around $4.3B. Beyond growing (its flagship Del Monte Gold/Pinkglow/Honeyglow pineapples, bananas, avocados, melons), it runs fresh-cut processing plants and packaged-vegetable operations via its Mann Packing vegetable division (acquired 2018), plus owned logistics arms (Network Shipping, Tricont Trucking/Logistics). The 'foodservice'/fresh-cut side is the most manipulation-relevant: peeling, coring, cutting, grading and packing soft, deformable, variable-geometry produce into retail clamshells and trays. HQ in Coral Gables, FL; large global workforce. In Jan 2026 it agreed to acquire most of the bankrupt California Del Monte Foods' vegetable/tomato/refrigerated-fruit assets and brands (S&W, Contadina) for ~$285M.
