Divine Flavor Spotlights Culiacán, Mexico, Growers; Carlos Bon Shares
NOGALES, AZ - Whether through blood or bond, family is a key pillar of the produce industry, differentiating it from other fields. This is no different for Divine Flavor, whose legacy has been built by generations of growers, all of whom have ties to the distributor through family history and carefully nurtured connections, like its team in Culiacán, Mexico.
“Being a company with strong family roots is what makes Divine Flavor a dynamic produce brand. Family is the epicenter of what bonds our businesses together. It gives us support, strength, and the ability to work closely together in ways other farm companies can’t,” said Carlos Bon, Vice President of Sales. “Each of our partners specializes in the items they produce whether it’s bell peppers, cucumbers, or tomatoes—all key commodities of our product range. Aside from being connected through family, we also share the passion of growing first-class, fresh produce for our customers.”
Divine Flavor is currently harvesting in Culiacán, which complements the company’s principal growing region of Sonora, Mexico, with Grupo Alta, a release stated. In the west Mexico area, the distributor has several key growers who have been producing for Divine Flavor since it was founded in 2007, including Hortifresh, Viva Orgánica, Grupo Chaparral, and Campaña Agricultores.
This year, throughout northern and western Mexico, the colder temperatures have delayed production in several categories for Divine Flavor, including its bell pepper, mini pepper, cucumber, and tomato programs. However, the company expects production to be in a prime position moving into the month of April.
Generally, the west Mexico/Sinaloa season sees peaks from the end of February to mid-March, and different cycles of certain tomato and cucumber varieties start up again at the end of March and early April. This season, the region won’t see the typical flush it’s used to, but the season could finish stronger than usual, which will connect to the other growing regions in Mexico.
