Dayka & Hackett has formed a partnership with UVEX, a Mexico-based table grape grower and exporter.
This alliance will significantly enhance D&H’s table grape pipeline in the coming years with additional high-quality, premium grapes, according to a news release.
The partnership will focus on the development of 500+ hectares of land into premium grape varieties, including Sun World International, Grapa and Bloom Fresh. The initiative underscores D&H’s commitment to offering customers high-caliber, flavorful grapes that meet the growing consumer appetite for premium produce, the company said.
“Partnering with UVEX is a key step toward enhancing our table grape offerings, and we are excited about the potential to deliver exceptional grapes that exceed the expectations of our customers,” said Kyle Hackett, CEO of Dayka & Hackett. “This collaboration will enable us to provide a steady supply of premium varieties and continue to lead the industry in innovation and quality.”
As part of the project, D&H will implement an innovative indoor packing and cooling facility, specifically designed for clamshell, bi-color and tri-color packaging. This modern facility will ensure efficiency and quality control, delivering fresh, high-quality grapes to the market, the release said.
“Eight years ago, we set out to revolutionize our vineyards by introducing superior grape varieties — meticulously selected and expertly cultivated to deliver exceptional quality. Today, we’re proud to partner with Dayka & Hackett, a company that shares our passion for excellence. This strategic alliance marks a bold step forward in raising the standard for flavor and quality in the Mexican table grape industry,” Commercial Director Luis Carrillo said.
