 PROFILE
People who live in glass houses may be too busy picking tomatoes to throw stones. EcoScience, through subsidiary Village Farms, is the largest US producer of greenhouse-grown tomatoes, which it sells under the Village Farms and Home Choice brands. It also provides disease and biological pest control products, including fungus-based Bio-Blast termite killer. The company sold Agro Dynamics, which provides products and services for intensive agriculture. Despite its premium product, EcoScience is still vulnerable to commodity swings; a tomato glut hurt sales, triggering a reorganization. CEO Michael DeGiglio owns 26% of EcoScience; EVP Albert Vanzeyst, 23%; and director Thomas Montanti, 20%.
