OXNARD, Calif., March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mission Produce, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVO) (\u201cMission\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the world leader in sourcing, producing, and distributing fresh Hass avocados, today announced the launch of its year-round mango program. In true Mission form, the program will be the first ever to incorporate ripening and distribution on a global and national scale through Mission\u2019s advanced network.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re entering the mango category today as we did the avocado category almost 40 years ago in a way that has never been done before,\u201d said Mission Founder and Chief Executive Officer Steve Barnard. \u201cAs the number one consumed fruit in the world, mangos offer a long runway of opportunity. Adding mangos to our portfolio is a natural next step as we expand our footprint worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a prime position for market expansion. Mission currently owns 300 hectares of mangos in Peru and is on track to source additional fruit from other premier growing regions,\u201d said Mission Vice President of North American Sales Stephen Fink. \u201cWe began our original mango program a few years ago during a seasonal window to keep our workforce employed year-round. We\u2019ve since seen increasing demand from our customers and the impressive response to our current mango program indicates that we are ready to grow into the mango market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMangos are typically off-season from avocados, so this complementary program creates a unique synergy within our international farming business,\u201d added Barnard.<\/p>\n

Mission\u2019s unparalleled access across its distribution, ripening, and transportation network will allow the Company to optimize production with the seasonality of mangos, as it has with avocados. Entering the mango category brings additional offerings to Mission\u2019s customer base, enhancing its ability to provide great value-added service and maximize profitability.<\/p>\n

To oversee the new category, Patrick Dueire joins Mission Produce as Director of Mangos, bringing more than 20 years of international experience of growing, shipping, and distributing the fruit in the U.S. and Europe. In his previous role, he spearheaded Dayka & Hackett\u2019s mango business, managing tropical category imports. In 2016, he was appointed to serve as a member of the National Mango Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick is a strategic hire to complement our avocado expertise with significant capabilities in the mango industry,\u201d said Fink. \u201cAs the most advanced avocado network in the world, we are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity to bring high quality mangos to market while continuing to provide the world class service our customers have come to expect.\u201d<\/p>\n
