"With sophisticated logistics and large expertise in air- and sea freight Dole is able to customise quantities and fulfil packaging requirements with high-standard designs and deliver the usual fresh quality every day," the release said.

"Cooperating with producers in Europe and overseas, who fulfil highest quality standards, Dole is able to provide its European trading partners with Dole-labelled goods reliably and throughout the whole year."
