Fyffes agrees €6m deal to buy pineapple farm

FYFFES, the publicly quoted fresh produce group, has bought a pineapple plantation and related production assets from Agroindustries Golden West in Panama.

The acquisition means that the group will directly produce 50% of the pineapples it markets in its various markets by next year.

The acquisition involves roughly 450 hectares and adds to the group’s existing pineapple farms in Costa Rica.
