“It all begins with quality and trying to produce the best fruit,” added Lucio. “At the top level, you need to start with the best growers and then consider the volumes available and the window you need them in. Layering in the logistics of importing from that country, we then think through what’s best for the industry. Where are we seeing pain points?”

The company’s import strategy is longstanding, dating back more than 35 years. Ensuring the surety of supply is something that LGS Specialty Sales takes very seriously.
