Last year, the timing for figs was thrown off because of weather issues, but this year things are back to normal, which is great news for The Specialty Crop Co., one of the largest growers of fresh and dried figs in the world.

Catania Worldwide’s business model is to not be “all things to all people.”

That means the company is the fig people, lime people, kiwi people, cactus pear people and so on.

California fig season is under way with a noteworthy crop, marked by strong volume and high quality. Despite a later start date, main harvest is now under way and will run through November.

Summer just got a little bit sweeter with J. Marchini's 2021 fig crop. J. Marchini Farms, Joe’s Premium fig season began with the Breba crop in the beginning of June, which is the first short crop that only lasts for a few weeks. Now they are kicking off their main fig crop, which will be going from August to October and includes three different varieties: Black Mission, Brown Turkey and Kadota.
