SANTA PAULA, CA - While avocados will be a main feature at the Calavo Growers booth, the supplier will also be showcasing its other categories at the upcoming Viva Fresh Expo. Peter Shore, Vice President of Product Management, took a moment to share some exclusive details with me.

“We will be highlighting Calavo’s year-round fresh avocado, tomato, and Hawaiian papaya programs. In particular, we will be shining a spotlight on our avocado programs which provide national distribution capabilities, just-in-time ripening, and bags. Avocado offerings include organic and Fair Trade Certified avocados,” Peter began telling me.

With a reliable supply from Mexico, California, Peru, and Colombia this summer, Calavo is strategically positioned to provide high-quality and consistent programs for retail, wholesale, and foodservice customers.

“Additionally, our Calavo Foods sales team will be on hand to showcase our lineup of AvoFresco guacamole and newest convenient squeeze pouches, which feature technology that keeps air out to prolong freshness, keeping the avocado green for up to 14 days after opening,” Peter continued.

The Calavo team looks forward to meeting and engaging with attendees, customers, and industry leaders at the show—reviewing spring and summer opportunities with its products to help drive growth in these categories.

“We hope to highlight Calavo’s avocado program capabilities for sourcing, ripening, and delivery,” Peter added. “Our programs and commitments are designed for delivering the finest avocados, prepared avocado products, and other fresh produce to our customers and consumers.”
