Los Angeles-based Giumarra Cos. says it is expanding its organic avocado program tailored for grocery retailers and foodservice operators.
The company will feature organic avocados at the upcoming Organic Produce Summit in July in Monterey, Calif., according to a news release.
“We are delighted to announce the expansion of our organic avocado offerings to better serve our customers,” Bruce Dowhan, senior vice president for the Giumarra Cos., said in the news release. “With increased supplies from California and Mexico, we are meeting the rising consumer demand for both bulk and bagged organic avocados of various sizes.”
Since 1982, Giumarra Cos. has been a leader in organic avocado supply, the release said.
“Across the country, our strategically located service centers near domestic growing regions and major trade gateways enable 24-hour delivery to most markets,” Chris Henry, general manager, Escondido, for Giumarra Avocado International, said in the release. “We are the only produce company with two avocado packinghouses located in California.”
In support of Giumarra’s commitment to customized service for its valued retail and foodservice partners, the company says it tailors marketing and merchandising initiatives to enhance consumer demand for avocados.
In addition to avocados, Giumarra Cos. also offers a range of other organic produce items including apples, asparagus, blueberries, grapes, kiwifruit, pears, and vegetables.
Giumarra Cos. will be exhibiting at OPS booth No. 504.
