dVida dedicated to providing the best tropical fruits from Ecuador

dVida Co., located in the heart of Houston, is known for being an agricultural leader that exports and imports fresh, frozen, dehydrated tropical fruits and vegetables from Ecuador.  

dVida’s founders are Ecuadorian families dedicated to agribusiness and have more than 30 years of experience in the agricultural industry. 

“The vast distinction of Ecuadorian agriculture, other than its capability to year-round production, is variety,” said Annabell Vidal, CEO. “A variety of fresh tropical fruit and vegetable sizes are grown as a result of our lush rainforest and humid subtropical climate. These varying sizes meet commodity requirements that are earmarked for markets requiring size specifications and uses.”

Tropical fruit is dVida’s main focus, and it specializes in mangos, according to Vidal. 

Ecuador ranks as the third-largest mango importing country to the United States, and dVida is currently on schedule to ship over 2 million pounds of mango this year.  

“Mangos are an increasingly high-demand fruit among U.S. retailers, and we have seen a driving demand from clients due to the increased per-capita consumption of mango amongst U.S. consumers,” said Vidal.

Vidal said Dragon fruit is an up-and-coming commodity that is gaining recognition with U.S. consumers and dVida has been able to add both yellow and red dragon fruit to their product list.  

“Ecuador has become the number one producer of dragon fruit in South America and is ranked eighth in dragon fruit exportation worldwide,” she said. “The quality of the Ecuadorian dragon fruit has been recognized in regions like Europe, Asia and North America.” 

dVida is a family-owned business and a female-owned company that has its 15-year roots in providing agricultural inspections and sourcing clients with the highest quality products that ensure cold chain integrity from the origin to final destination.  

“Unique attributes of our Ecuadorian year-round fruit deal are our focus on quality, speed and consistency,” said Vidal. “We have complete control and management of the production, packaging and streamlining logistics to assure product shelf life for our customers.” 

dVida also sources product from Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Mexico to supply year-round products for its clients. 

dVida will be at the upcoming IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show in October in Anaheim, CA, and will be available to talk about its tropical product lines, services and dedication to the agricultural trade industry.
