Banana bots, equipped with AI and advanced robotics, could revolutionize how we interact with produce. They can provide real-time information about banana varieties, ripeness, and nutritional value. Plus, they can engage shoppers in interactive games and quizzes, making the shopping experience more fun and educational. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see more innovative ways to promote fruits like bananas. Banana bots are just the beginning! Great initiative by our team in Korea!!!

Our 2023 Sustainability Report is here! This report highlights the many sustainability and community-related achievements we made as a company last year. Most notably, we achieved our SBTi-approved scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions goals seven years early. Our original goal was to reduce scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 27.5% by 2030 against a 2019 baseline. Since we already met that goal, we’ve increased our reduction goal to 30% by 2030 compared to 2019. We’re incredibly proud of the entire global Fresh Del Monte team — from the fields to the ports to our offices — for their dedication to operating sustainability and their hard work that got us here.

Vending machine options usually leave a lot to be desired, but that’s not the case in Hong Kong. Our Hong Kong operations recently installed a Pinkglow® pineapple vending machine near its offices. Located in a high foot traffic area near Hong Kong’s most popular shopping district, the vending machine allows us to test a retail concept in an innovative way. Would you buy a fresh pineapple from a vending machine?
