US: Storage facility helps endive producer save on energy

California Vegetable Specialties of Rio Vista, the largest producer of Belgian endive in the U.S., has built a $3.5 million cold-storage facility that is expected to save the company hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in energy costs.

By building the 19,000-square-foot facility next to its production plant, the company also is eliminating transportation costs to a storage facility it had rented about two hours away.

California Vegetable Specialties financed 60 percent of the cost and paid for the rest with a loan from the Bank of Stockton. Affordability and energy efficiency were key objectives, said company president Richard Collins.
