Coupled with Duda’s summer import program, this allows the company to offer a virtually year round solution. This season, Duda is also presenting retailers with a new high graphic display bin with Grab N’ Go Citrine snack packs and traditional mandarin packs. In addition, the company is utilizing QR and text codes on its Meyer lemon and Citrines packaging, taking consumers to Duda’s informative website. Sales Manager, Paul Huckabay, tells AndNowUKnow, “Grab N’ Go snack packs have been the most exciting new packaging options for our program. They help drive traffic while allowing retailers to differentiate their produce departments.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Borton Fruit is currently packing and shipping Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, Jonagold, Cameo and Red Rome apples for retail partners.
