Progreso Produce Limited I, L.P. has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in the Texas Western Bankruptcy Court on September 30.
The company, which was founded over 40 years ago, has carved out leading growing and sourcing positions for watermelons, Mexican strawberries, Roma tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and chili peppers, while also growing its core business in year round onion production.
