Ecuadorian fruit backed by the Dole Food Company
Dole Ecuador combines local expertise in Ecuador with the global infrastructure of the Dole Food Company — from plantation to packing, cold chain and destination markets in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe.
Part of a global fruit leader, rooted in Ecuador
Dole Ecuador belongs to the Dole Food Company, Inc., with corporate headquarters in Westlake, United States. Ecuador is part of the Latin America region; the regional headquarters is in San José, Costa Rica. Dole produces and markets more than 170 fruits and vegetables in more than 90 countries.
In Ecuador we focus on bananas, pineapples, mangos and plantains — grown, harvested, packed and exported to international trade standards. Our base in Guayaquil is the centre for sales, logistics and customer service in the region.
The Dole brand has stood since its founding in 1851 by James Drummond Dole in Hawaii for quality, reliability and ethical conduct — principles that guide our work in Ecuador to this day.
Quality recognised in trade
Dole Ecuador links Ecuadorian growing with global market presence — with certified plantations, integrated management systems and logistics that preserve freshness across continents.
From Hawaii to a global fruit brand
James Drummond Dole founds a pineapple company in Hawaii — the start of a worldwide fruit-growing tradition.
Dole diversifies into bananas and other fruits and builds international plantation and export operations.
Dole establishes regional hubs and plantations in Central and South America — Ecuador becomes a core production centre.
Dole Ecuador exports bananas, pineapples, mangos and plantains with GLOBALG.A.P., Rainforest Alliance and Primus Labs certifications.
The Dole Food Company supplies customers in more than 90 countries — with owned ocean freight through Dole Ocean Cargo.
From field to destination port
Quality starts at the plantation: selective harvest, careful handling, cold chain and packing to specification. Dole Ecuador manages these steps with integrated management systems and auditable processes.
For importers, that means a continuous supply chain — one team, one brand, clear documentation. From enquiry and sample through contract and bill of lading.
