Mission Produce is a global leader in the avocado industry, sourcing, packing, and distributing Hass avocados to retail, wholesale, and foodservice customers worldwide through strategically located distribution centers and state-of-the-art facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia. The company operates three business segments: a marketing and distribution network that sources fruit from growers globally, international farming operations in Peru and Guatemala that grow avocados and complementary crops like blueberries and mangoes, and packing and processing services for third parties. Beyond commodity distribution, Mission Produce differentiates itself through value-added services including custom ripening at multiple stages, specialty packaging, logistical management, quality assurance, and branded category management programs that support retail sales and consumer education, while generating revenue through product sales, distribution services, and long-term customer relationships built on quality and reliability rather than multi-year supply contracts.
