Banana Footprint Expands Further! Fresh Del Monte Deepens Southeast Asia Presence with THACO AGRIFresh Del Monte, the globally renowned fresh produce company, has announced a long-term strategic partnership with THACO AGRI, the agricultural division of Vietnam's THACO Group, to strengthen its sourcing capabilities in Southeast Asia. Under the agreement, the two companies will work together on long-term banana sourcing, covering production bases across Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. THACO AGRI will also develop dedicated pineapple cultivation areas in phases to meet Fresh Del Monte's future sourcing needs.
