In addition to embracing the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) at our primary production facilities, Dole has also moved forward with new and alternative growing methods that provide you with more choices.

Dole's organic programme offers an alternative to conventionally-produced fruits and vegetables while continuing to meet the high standards of quality that Dole customers have come to expect.

• Dole now produces organically-grown bananas on its own farms and sources from independent organic growers in several Latin and South American countries, as well as in the Philippines. We also operate a growing organic pineapple programme.
• Interestingly, our organic banana and pineapple programmes are bringing advantages to conventional agricultural production, by enabling us to replace certain elements of synthetic chemical crop management with more earth-friendly methods.
• All Dole organic production areas are certified by internationally-recognised agencies.

Our Organic Policy is wide-ranging and interesting to read. Find out more about how Dole develops alternative growing methods... www.doleorganic.com.
