The Giumarra Companies has expanded its organic avocado program tailored for grocery retailers and foodservice operators. "With increased supplies from California and Mexico, we are meeting the rising consumer demand for both bulk and bagged organic avocados of various sizes," says Bruce Dowhan, senior vice president for the Giumarra Companies.
Since 1982, Giumarra has supplied organic avocados to North American consumers. Today, it supplies both conventional and organic avocados to customers throughout the United States and Canada.
Two avocado packing houses
"Across the country, our strategically located service centers near domestic growing regions and major trade gateways enable 24-hour delivery to most markets," says 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 retail and foodservice partners, the company tailors marketing and merchandising initiatives to enhance consumer demand for avocados.
Organic Produce Summit
Giumarra will feature organic avocados at the upcoming Organic Produce Summit (OPS) in Monterey next month. In addition to avocados, the company 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 tradeshow attendees at booth #504.
