Value-Added
Supplier:
Apio has structured its business as a marketer and seller of fresh-cut
and
whole value-added produce. It is focused on selling products under
its Eat
Smart® brand and other brands for its fresh-cut and whole value-added
products. As retail grocery and club store chains consolidate, Apio
is
well positioned as a single source of a broad range of products.
|
· |
Reduced
Farming Risks:
Apio reduces its farming risk by not taking ownership of farmland,
and
instead, contracts with growers for produce. The year-round sourcing
of
produce is a key component to the fresh-cut and whole value-added
processing business.
|
· |
Lower
Cost Structure:
Apio has strategically invested in the rapidly growing fresh-cut
and whole
value-added business. Apio’s 96,000 square foot value-added processing
plant, which was recently expanded from 60,000 square feet, is automated
with state-of-the-art vegetable processing equipment. Virtually all
of
Apio’s value-added products utilize Apio’s proprietary BreatheWay
packaging technology.
Apio’s strategy is to operate one large central processing facility in
one
of California’s largest, lowest cost growing regions (Santa Maria Valley)
and use packaging technology to allow for the nationwide delivery
of fresh
produce products.
|
· |
Export
Capability:
Apio is uniquely positioned to benefit from the growth in export
sales to
Asia and Europe over the next decade with its export business, CalEx.
Through CalEx, Apio is currently one of the largest U.S. exporters
of
broccoli to Asia and is selling its iceless products to Asia
using
proprietary BreatheWay packaging
technology.
|
· |
Expanded
Product Line Using Technology:
Apio, through the use of its BreatheWay
packaging technology,
is introducing on average fifteen new value-added products each year.
These new product offerings range from various sizes of fresh-cut
bagged
products, to vegetable trays, to whole produce, to a meal line of
products. During the last twelve months, Apio has introduced 24 new
products.
