Alliance enables Progreso Produce to expand programs
Progreso Produce announced an exclusive marketing partnership with Growers Alliance Corp. in Vista, CA, to market a variety of fresh produce, including mangos and onions from Central America and South America.
The Growers Alliance relationship expands Progreso's current year-round mango and onion programs and adds additional product volume. The marketing season for mangos will begin in December with mangos from Peru. Mangos will also be available from Brazil and Ecuador during their respective growing seasons. The onion season will begin in October with onions from Peru and Ecuador. Other products available through the new partnership are avocados, asparagus, strawberries, ginger and bananas.
The year-round mango program will complement Progreso's current mango program, which is highlighted by a branding program with Imagination Farms that features "Disney Garden" and the popular "High School Musical" franchise.
Although a newly formed organization, Growers Alliance brings with it years of experience in its principals William Cavan and Stephen Stamps. Mr. Cavan is a 24-year veteran of the industry who most recently served as executive director of the International Mango Organization. Mr. Stamps has spent his career in international business for a variety of industries and brings to the business a strong financial background.
Curtis Deberry, president of Progreso Produce, said in a press release, "The synergy of this new partnership brings together multiple resources for quality products, strong business contacts, working capital and marketing opportunities that will help both of our companies grow."
