CHARLOTTE, NC - Pineapples and bananas will be some of the stars at the Organic Produce Summit (OPS). If you can’t tell already by the mention of its flagship organic offerings, Dole Food Company is taking to OPS to spotlight its DOLE® Organic Bananas and Pineapples.

“Dole started its organic banana program almost 25 years ago and is now the largest grower and distributor of premium organic bananas in the United States,” shares Bil Goldfield, Director of Corporate Communications. “Our organic production has led to learnings that have positively impacted conventional production techniques, while our diverse sourcing network has allowed us to keep up with the increasing demand for organic bananas in recent years. Like our leadership in organic bananas, we’ve long been the largest U.S. grower and distributor of fresh organic pineapples, and continue to invest in this area to meet expected increased demand.”

As Bil goes on to explain to me, DOLE Certified Organic Bananas and Pineapples fill a critical niche by providing consumers with alternatives to choose organic production, in turn creating a responsible and positive impact on the local communities and environment.

“For Dole, exhibiting at the Organic Produce Summit provides a platform to showcase our organic products and position as a trusted leader in organic produce,” Bil continues. “The summit offers market exposure, facilitates networking opportunities, and allows for potential collaborations with key decision-makers that can leverage Dole’s brand reputation with retailers and industry professionals in the organic produce sector.”
