Del Monte Gold® Pineapple is now available from Kenya by air
"We have seen the opportunity to grow in this segment offering an additional premium alternative, this time coming from Kenya and by air,” says Gianpaolo Renino, VP EA.
“We have put in place a widespread distribution that will serve, on a weekly basis, the key airports in Europe. Del Monte Gold Extra Sweet Pineapples by air are packed into a specifically designed carton boxes in a standing position, separated one from another to guarantee the maximum protection during transport. Our clients will be able to include an additional niche produce to their offer and the final consumer will therefore be able to savour the same naturally sweet and gold flesh of our unique ready - to - eat pineapple, within a few hours from harvest”.
As part of the global Del Monte CSR program (Corporate Social Responsibility) the Kenyan pineapple plantations have as well received the third-party certification as Sustainably Grown. This certification was issued by SCS Global Services (SCS) in accordance with the producer and handler requirements of its internationally recognized Sustainably Grown Standard v 1.3.
As a result the airfreight Del Monte Gold Pineapple from Kenya will feature the Kingfisher eco-label which the company hopes will help consumers in Europe feel more confident, since the Del Monte Gold Pineapples are SCS certified.
