Specialty produce with real range.
Tropical and Latin produce covers a wide mix of everyday staples and specialty items. Some buyers need consistent size and pack for retail. Others need stage-ready avocados or mangos for foodservice. And some want the unique stuff that draws attention in produce displays.
