Giumarra expands organic avocado program
The Giumarra Cos. expanded its organic avocado program tailored for grocery retailers and foodservice operators. The company will feature organic avocados at the upcoming Organic Produce Summit in Monterey, CA.
“We are delighted to announce the expansion of our organic avocado offerings to better serve our customers,” said Bruce Dowhan, senior vice president for the Giumarra Cos. “With increased supplies from California and Mexico, we are meeting the rising consumer demand for both bulk and bagged organic avocados of various sizes.”
Since 1982, Giumarra has maintained a steadfast leadership role in supplying organic avocados to North American consumers. Over the years, the company has evolved into one of the largest suppliers of both conventional and organic avocados to customers throughout the United States and Canada.
“Across the country, our strategically located service centers near domestic growing regions and major trade gateways enable 24-hour delivery to most markets,” said Chris Henry, general manager, Escondido for Giumarra Avocado International. “We are the only produce company with two avocado packinghouses located in California.”
In support of Giumarra's commitment to customized service for its valued retail and foodservice partners, the company tailors marketing and merchandising initiatives to enhance consumer demand for avocados.
In addition to avocados, Giumarra also offers a range of other organic produce items, including apples, asparagus, blueberries, grapes, kiwifruit, pears and vegetables. During the OPS exposition on July 11, Giumarra will meet and greet trade show attendees at booth No. 504.
