US-based, Naturipe Farms, a partnership between four highly-esteemed fresh berry growers, continues to expand and grow in export markets. The group provides consistent and diverse seasonal crops with year-round availability. Their berries are grown throughout North and South America.
Director of International Sales, Clay Wittmeyer shares that at Naturipe the priority is to provide customers with fresh, high quality berries. In spite of COVID-19, the berry category has seen significant growth in fruit sales. Now more than ever, consumers are looking to fuel their bodies with nutrient-rich and immunity-boosting ingredients. The company currently exports to Canada, Asia and Europe, and is actively pursuing opportunities in other markets as the exports category continues to grow.
Clay Wittmeyer adds that Naturipe takes sustainability to heart: “As part of our continued commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly business practices, we offer sustainable packaging alternatives, focus on water conservation, and engage with consumers to share proper recycling practices.” Recently they have expanded their use of Heat Seal packaging for blueberries. This packaging has 33% less plastic, compared to a traditional clamshell. Mr. Wittmeyer explains that Heat Seal has been developed for US retailers, but Naturipe is ready to sell it for export if there is demand.
Naturipe Farms offers blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries and avocados. For more information visit https://www.naturipefarms.com/
