A Global Variety Development & Licensing Company.
About us
Sun World International is one of the world’s largest plant variety breeders and global licensors of premium, proprietary produce. The Company’s fruit varieties - currently table grapes, stone fruit, cherries, and mangoes - are planted on more than 72,000 acres (26,000+ hectares) in 17 countries by over 2,000 licensed growers. Sun World is a pioneer in plant variety breeding; its genetics and breeding program dates back to 1976. Sun World was also one of the first to bring proprietary produce to a global audience, launching its international licensing business in 1995. Before focusing exclusively on breeding and licensing, Sun World was a significant fruit producer and marketer, which makes the Company keenly aware of and highly responsive to the needs of fruit growers.

Thank you International Fresh Produce Association Miriam Miller Wolk, CAE Jessica Keller and the rest of the team for putting together a GREAT day!
Chief Membership Officer @ International Fresh Produce Association - Experienced trade association membership executive passionate about creating community.
Greetings from Berlin, where we continued our tradition of taking our staff and member colleagues on informal visits to local retailers! Today we visited two REWE locations, including one Voll Pflanzlich, which is an entirely vegan store (thank you Stephan Weist for the recommendations!) Frische Paradies KG, BIOMARKT and EDEKA ZENTRALE Stiftung & Co. KG. Here are some things that caught our eye: —Tattooed PLU on sweet potatoes - we’ve seen this on mangoes before so it’s interesting to see it expand to other commodities. #trending - Driscoll's new packaging, paper carton with plastic film top -94% less packaging. As regulatory and consumer demands change, this type of packaging will become more common -Guacamole kit from Nature's Pride. I got to see these being packed when I visited their facility in Rotterdam. Great way to provide everything the consumer needs in one package! - Pink Lady® Europe 6 pack in paper packaging - very eye catching with a sustainability twist - Fruit pearls - caviaresque, a great way to add a gourmet touch to any meal - Frische Paradies had a temperature controlled room for a number of items —Fresh juice that calls it like it is! Whether you are in “hangover” or “hangry” mode, there is a juice for your needs! What retail innovation is catching your eye in Berlin? #retail #produce #freshproduce #merchandising #packaging #vegan #organic #innovation #supermarket
