US (CA): Joint venture to increase stonefruit, citrus volumes
The exclusive agreement will commence in fall of 2015, beginning with Wildwood’s citrus offering. Following in spring 2016, Wildwood’s volume of California stone fruit will round out the program.
The combined volume of both companies will strengthen a well-balanced supply of stone fruit, including peaches, nectarines, white peaches, white nectarines, donut peaches, donut nectarines, plums, pluots, and apricots. Additionally, Wildwood’s year-round citrus program offers a full line of traditional navels, valencias, lemons, and grapefruit, as well as several EZ Peel varieties.
The partnership with Wildwood brings strength to Giumarra’s Nature’s Partner DulceVida™ proprietary line of stone fruit. Wildwood will considerably increase the volume of Nature’s Partner DulceVida fruit in the market with development of these proprietary varieties on its ranches. The DulceVida program made its first commercial launch in spring 2015.
