MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA - Equifruit has been on a steady growth path for the last several years, marked by its three-year consecutive ranking as one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies for 2024. The Fairtrade-certified banana provider has landed on The Globe and Mail’s prestigious list yet again, ranking at #219 with an impressive growth rate of 184 percent.

"Being named one of Canada's Top Growing Companies for a third straight year is a testament to our team’s passion and resilience," says Jennie Coleman, President. "We’ve navigated unprecedented challenges—from the pandemic to inflationary pressures—while staying true to our mission of paying banana farmers fairly and making an impact across the supply chain."

Equifruit secured the #207 spot in 2023 with a 219 percent growth rate and ranked #261 in 2022 with 139 percent growth.

As a press release stated, Equifruit's continued growth and resilience can be attributed to its clear purpose: transforming the banana industry by promoting Fairtrade practices that ensure farmers are paid fairly for their work. Upholding this central social and environmental commitment has helped the supplier differentiate itself in a competitive market, establishing partnerships with major retailers and expanding its reach across Canada and beyond.

In 2024, the company also achieved B Corp certification, further cementing its role as a leader in sustainability, transparency, and social responsibility. Also bolstering its status as a strong produce player, Equifruit is now a certified Women-Owned Business through WEConnect International, a prestigious designation that recognizes its women-led leadership and diversity in the marketplace.
