Sun World adds licensing support in Chile, Peru

Sun World International LLC has opened an office in Peru to support its fruit licensing in the region.

Pablo Ramirez has been appointed licensing manager for the country for Sun World. He has worked with Sun World through two of the company’s licensed marketers, Agricola Chapi SA and Camposol SA, before he set up his own commercial services and trading company, according to a Sun World news release.

Daniel Desmartis has been named licensing manager for Chile. He is an agronomist who has worked for Gesex and Univiveros, which are licensed to grow Sun World fruit varieties.

With increased technical support for Chile, Peru and Brazil, Sun World looks forward to strengthening business in South America, Garth Swinburn, vice president of licensing, said in the release.

“We care about the success of our licensees and therefore we are pleased to appoint Pablo and Daniel to further corroborate and strengthen the relationships with our South American licensees,” he said in the release.

The company’s proprietary grape brands include Autumncrisp, Midnight Beauty, Sable Seedless, Adora Seedless and Scarlotta Seedless.
