 PROFILE
Fresh Del Monte Produce is used to being squeezed and sniffed. While no longer related to Del Monte Foods, the company holds the license to use the name on fresh fruit that it grows, transports, and markets in about 50 nations in North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific. Bananas account for about half of its sales -- the firm's one of the world's top banana producers. Its Del Monte Gold Pineapples have made it the #1 pineapple seller. The company has used acquisitions to expand into Europe and fill its bowl with a wider variety of fruits and vegetables. Produce is grown on the firm's farms and purchased from contract growers. The Abu-Ghazaleh family (including CEO Mohammad) owns about two-thirds of Fresh Del Monte.
