Description: DOLE Dole November 12, 2025
Dole PLC (NYSE: DOLE) is a Dublin-based company that sources, processes, markets, and distributes fresh fruit and vegetables worldwide. Its operations are organized into three segments – Fresh Fruit; Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA; and Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas and ROW – and it sells under the DOLE brand to retailers, wholesalers, and food-service customers.
The product portfolio spans bananas, pineapples, grapes, berries, avocados, organic produce, cherries, kiwis, apples, potatoes, and onions. According to the most recent annual report (FY 2023), the company generated roughly $5 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 7 %, reflecting the low-margin, high-volume nature of the fresh-produce business.
Key economic drivers for Dole include global fresh-produce demand growth (projected CAGR ≈ 5 % through 2028), rising consumer willingness to pay a premium for organic and sustainably sourced items, and exposure to climate-related supply risks that can compress margins during adverse weather events. Assuming current supply-chain constraints ease, the company’s earnings could benefit from higher average selling prices for bananas and avocados, which have historically outperformed price inflation in the sector.
