SANTA PAULA, CA - With consumer preferences turning on a dime these days, versatility is essential. The ability to meet a diverse set of needs is invaluable, and that is exactly what Calavo Growers is serving up. Ron Araiza, Vice President of Calavo Growers’ Food division, recently gave us a sneak peek at the grower’s lineup at Produce Marketing Association’s PMA Foodservice event.

Ron Araiza, Vice President, Calavo Growers, Foods Division“We have a number of items we are highlighting in the foodservice sector here today,” he told me. “Of course, there are fresh avocado foodservice packs. We have a fresh tomato line out for foodservice; we have the Renaissance Food Group fresh-cut veggies and meal kits for this arena; and then of course our avocado processed spreads, guacamoles, and salsas that we are also highlighting today.”

Calavo Growers wields this expansive lineup to its advantage on the buy-side, working in tandem with its Renaissance Food Group division to bring fresh and value-added products to foodservice kitchens.
