Miami-based Kapi Kapi Growers, a grower-shipper of sustainably grown pineapples, bananas and plantains, says it is introducing organic bananas to its product portfolio.

Initially available to retailers across the U.S. and Canada, Kapi-branded organic bananas will soon be shipped to Europe, according to a news release.

Using long-standing relationships, Kapi Kapi Growers said it strategically partnered with organic producers earlier in 2024. To uphold its values and growing standards, the company said it ensures consistency across its product line, prioritizing food and sustainability.

“We are thrilled that we can offer banana programs that match the quality, flavor and consistency of our other premium items,” Sofia Acon, president of Kapi Kapi Growers, said in the release. “By aligning the strategic priorities of both our business and our partners, we can continue delivering valuable opportunities to drive growth and successful outcomes.”

Kapi Kapi showcased its organic bananas, along with conventional bananas, pineapples and plantains, Oct. 18-19 at its booth at the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce and Floral Show in Atlanta.
