History

1985

1986
Pacific Fruit, Inc., under the Rica label, began its own Advertising and Point of Sale programs.

1992
Pacific Fruit, Inc. combines the two North American labels Bonita (commercial label on the East Coast) & Rica, uniting the company under one strong nationally recognized Bonita Label. By now Pacific Fruit Inc. was expanding into diversified products. The West Coast operation developed a small, but very profitable, Bonita mango program from Ecuador. This is now a worldwide program, with sourcing from Ecuador, Peru and Mexico.

Pacific Fruit, Inc. introduces the 5lb. bag to the North American market which has led to the development of the industry accepted 3lb. and 4lb. bags. This innovative product established the banana category for one of the world's largest retailers; and, it also led to the successful design and implementation of the industry's first-ever consumer-friendly one-piece banana display box.
