History

Founding and early development

Fresh Del Monte Produce traces its origins to 1989, when Inc. sold the fresh fruit division of to the British conglomerate International for $875 million as part of its divestiture efforts following a . This transaction created an independent entity initially known as Del Monte Fresh Produce Co., headquartered in , focusing on the global sourcing, production, and distribution of tropical fruits. The division had previously operated under , which itself had a long history in fruit processing dating back to the late , but the sale marked the separation of fresh produce operations from canned and processed goods. Under Polly Peck's ownership, the company emphasized banana and pineapple production, with major operations in and the , including plantations in , , and . These regions provided ideal climates for year-round cultivation, enabling the company to supply markets in and through established shipping and distribution networks. The focus on vertically integrated supply chains began to take shape, with control over farming, harvesting, and transportation to ensure product quality and reduce intermediaries. However, this period was short-lived due to Polly Peck's rapid expansion and financial overreach. Polly Peck International collapsed in 1990 amid allegations of financial fraud and mismanagement against its chairman, , leading to the company's insolvency with debts exceeding £1 billion and triggering investigations by British authorities. The scandal involved accusations of and false accounting, which severely impacted subsidiaries like Del Monte Fresh Produce, placing its operations under administrative oversight. Nadir, who had built into a diversified empire through aggressive acquisitions, fled to to avoid prosecution, leaving the fresh produce unit in limbo as creditors sought to recover value. In 1992, following the fallout from Polly Peck's bankruptcy, Del Monte Fresh Produce was acquired by a group of Mexican investors led by businessman Carlos Cabal Peniche for more than $500 million, providing stability and continued operations in tropical fruit production. Cabal Peniche, who had interests in banking and agriculture, expanded the company's holdings, including additional stakes in plantations across Latin America. However, by 1996, Cabal faced his own fraud charges in Mexico related to banking irregularities, prompting his flight and the subsequent sale of the company to Jordanian investor Mohammed Abu-Ghazaleh. Under Abu-Ghazaleh's leadership starting in 1996, the company solidified its vertical integration in the fresh fruit supply chain, encompassing ownership of farms, packing facilities, and shipping assets to enhance efficiency and market control.

Acquisitions, expansions, and recent developments

In 2004, Fresh Del Monte acquired Del Monte Foods from the bankrupt Italian group for an undisclosed amount, securing perpetual royalty-free rights to the Del Monte brand in , , and the Middle East, and adding processed food operations that generated about $370 million in annual sales. This move significantly expanded the company's footprint and diversified its product offerings beyond fresh produce. To enter the value-added vegetable segment, Fresh Del Monte acquired Mann Packing Co., Inc., a leading California-based producer of fresh-cut , in February 2018 for approximately $361 million in cash. The deal integrated Mann's operations, including brands like Little Leaf Farms, into Fresh Del Monte's portfolio, enhancing capabilities in packaged salads and vegetable mixes for the North American market. In March 2025, Fresh Del Monte acquired a majority stake in Avolio, Uganda's leading supplier of bulk crude and edible , as part of a strategy to convert agricultural byproducts into high-value sustainable ingredients.
