Certifications

Certified, audited and independently traceable

We back our fruit with recognised, independent standards — for responsible growing, food safety, secure trade and the documentation your customers, auditors and customs authorities require.

Why it matters

Assurances your buyers can verify

For importers and trading companies, certifications are not decoration — they are the documentary proof that retail trade, audits and import programmes demand. Dole Ecuador can supply certified fruit and supporting documentation for your sustainability, quality and import requirements.

Behind the certificates are day-to-day quality systems: harvest, grading, packing and shipping to contract specification — so the labels match the fruit in the box.
