Dole plc is a global producer and marketer of fresh fruits and vegetables, operating through three reportable segments: Fresh Fruit, Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA, and Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas and ROW. Its product portfolio spans core tropical items such as bananas, pineapples, and plantains, alongside a broader range including avocados, kiwis, apples, berries, and cherries, with both imported and locally sourced fresh produce.
The company distributes its products through retail, wholesale, e-commerce, and foodservice channels, serving a diverse customer base that includes grocery stores, mass merchandisers, supercenters, club stores, convenience stores, distributors, and smaller regional accounts. Under the DOLE brand, it also operates a commercial cargo business that supports its logistics network. Dole is classified within the Consumer Staples sector (Packaged Foods & Meats), reflecting the typically stable, non-cyclical demand profile of fresh produce, and was incorporated in 2017 with its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.
