Giumarra Cos. on the mark with Chilean fruit programs
Giumarra Cos.’ Southern Hemisphere division is currently importing Chilean grapes and stone fruit, including peaches, plums and nectarines.
Craig Uchizono, vice president of Southern Hemisphere, said these items will wrap up in early April.
“Following these programs we will move into persimmons in late spring, around April or May,” said Uchizono. “We also offer a selection of Chilean apples during spring and summer, as well as citrus and other exotics. The Chilean kiwifruit season is starting now and will run through summer and fall.”
