Consolidated Fruit Packers further invests in the Southern Okanagan Valley
"Through this further investment in the Okanagan Valley, CFP will bolster its acreage in cherry production, further strengthening its position in Canadian fruit. For over 40 years, Nelson has been a fruit grower, packhouse owner, international consultant and cherry exporter. His company's long and successful history of global distribution will complement the growth and direction of CFP and The Star Group of Companies."
"CFP continues permanent, long term investment in the Okanagan Valley, increasing our grower base, fruit production and supply. We are inspired to further our work with Graem who has been a pioneer in the cherry industry, devoting time to the preharvest and marketing of cherries and working with multiple growers on best practices to ensure the highest quality Canadian fruit is harvested. This acquisition confirms our commitment to expand programs with some of the finest Canadian growers in conjunction with top retailers in Canada, the USA and around the globe," commented Dariel Trottier, President CFP.
