Description: DOLE Dole March 02, 2026

Dole plc (NYSE: DOLE) is a global fresh-produce company that sources, processes, markets, and distributes a wide range of fruits and vegetables-including bananas, pineapples, berries, avocados, and organic items-under the DOLE brand to retailers, wholesalers, and food-service customers. The business is organized into three operating segments: Fresh Fruit; Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA; and Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas and ROW.

In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2023), Dole reported net sales of $6.3 billion, a 5 % increase year-over-year, driven by strong demand for fresh, health-focused products and improved pricing power amid rising commodity costs. The company’s EBITDA margin expanded to 7.2 %, reflecting operational efficiencies in its supply-chain network. Key sector drivers include accelerating consumer preference for plant-based diets and supply-chain resilience pressures caused by climate-related disruptions, which are prompting Dole to invest in sustainable farming and cold-chain logistics.
