Mission Produce claims to be the leader in sourcing, production and distribution of fresh avocados to retailers, wholesalers and foodservice customers. On top of sourcing, production and distribution, the company provides additional value-added services including ripening, customer packing and logistics, among others.
The company has packing facilities in the US, Mexico and Peru, as well as many distribution and ripening centers across the globe. The production assets include 10,000 acres in Peru with additional greenfields allowing for capacity expansion in the years to come.
Since being founded in 1983, the company has focused on growth, innovation and strategic investments, having made a bet on avocados long before it became a very popular food item. Other sourcing regions include notably Mexico and California as the company uses own production and relationships with third-party growers to create complementary growth seasons. This allows for supply across seasons; in fact, throughout the entire year.
