LOS ANGELES, CA - Berry Fresh is ramping up production for blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries from Argentina, Chile, and Mexico to gear up for a highly promotable season.
Over the next eight to nine months, Berry Fresh says it also plans on increasing berry volume from both its Los Angeles, California and Gloucester, New Jersey distribution facilities for all of its retail partners, according to a press release. Focusing on these two areas will help maintain the company’s presence on the west coast, as well as strengthening its presence on the east.
With the recent start of the Argentine harvest season and the upcoming blackberry and raspberry seasons in Mexico, Berry Fresh’s Evan Pence, North American Procurement Manager, says that the future looks “fantastically bright.”
“Right now, our excitement over our new Mexican raspberry project in Jalisco and our new Argentine and Chilean blueberry plantings has us eager to get this winter season underway,” said Pence. “We are interested in seeing where the raspberry program can go, how far it can take us. Our traditional strength is in blueberries, but the obvious future is in providing the complete berry category. That is our unwavering focus.”
Berry Fresh, through its parent company Agroberries of South America and its sister company Expoberries of Mexico, as well as its own domestic spring and summer production, maintains a stable annual supply of all berries.
