Index Fresh is spreading the California avocado love this season with the company’s new centennial box. Launched at the beginning of 2014, the packaging is a tribute to all involved in Index’s growth over the past 100 years. Branded with a vibrant AvoTerra design, this item also packs avocados with the new PLU sticker, designed by the California Avocado Labeling Initiative to increase awareness and visibility at the retail level. John Dmytriw, Sales Director, tells AndNowUKnow, “Our staff doesn’t view this new box as simply just another vehicle in which we bring our fruit to market. In fact we look at this box as our badge of honor, and a way to mark this wonderful milestone.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Pier-C is now in full carrot production in Mexico. Along with its complete line of retail, wholesale and foodservice options for customers across North America, the company has recently introduced a new Nantego variety to its portfolio. Nantegos offer a super sweet option for the category with an emphasis on flavor. Pier-C also offers retailers the comfort of Primus GFS certification in all of its facilities and farms in Central Mexico, with Mexican supplies lasting from now until the Beginning of August when the company will transition to its Canadian operations. Joe Khalil, Sales Manager, tells us, “We recently increased our capacity an additional 30% in response to the growing demand for our Mexican products.
