 PROFILE
Nutritionists recommend that people eat five fruit and vegetable servings daily, but Dole Food -- the world's #1 producer of fresh fruit and vegetables -- would prefer it if everyone ate more. The company is one of the world's leading producers of bananas and pineapples and grows other fresh fruits. It also produces dried fruits and nuts, canned fruits, vegetables, and fresh flowers. (It's the world's top flower grower.) Dole has added value-added products (packaged salads, novelty canned pineapple shapes) to insulate itself from commodity markets. Cost-cutting measures, including job cuts, have helped boost earnings. Dole has food units in more than 90 countries. CEO David Murdock owns nearly a quarter of Dole.
