Dole plc DOLE

Company Overview

Dole plc is a global fresh produce company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with operational headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The company operates across the fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain, including sourcing, farming, packaging, marketing, distribution, and retail delivery. Dole serves the broader agriculture and food distribution industries, with primary exposure to fresh bananas, pineapples, berries, citrus, vegetables, and packaged salads. Its revenue is largely driven by sales to supermarkets, wholesalers, foodservice providers, and institutional customers across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and parts of the Middle East.

The modern company was formed through the 2021 merger of Total Produce plc and the former Dole Food Company, creating one of the world’s largest fresh produce businesses. Dole’s strategic positioning is supported by vertically integrated operations, ownership and leasing of agricultural land, logistics infrastructure, refrigerated shipping capabilities, and long-standing retailer relationships. The company has historically emphasized scale, diversified sourcing regions, and year-round supply capabilities as competitive advantages in the global produce market.
