From plantation to community
Tropical fruit export depends on the people who grow, harvest and pack every carton. Fundación Dale invests in those communities with structured programmes that complement Dole Ecuador's commercial operations.
These programmes create shared value: stronger communities, stable labour and a supply chain aligned with the social standards that importers and brands in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America require.
Fundación Dale initiatives
Care and prevention
Community health programmes — prevention campaigns, basic care and wellbeing for families in banana, pineapple, mango and plantain growing regions.
Training and schooling
Educational support for children and young people in rural communities — scholarships, school materials and training programmes linked to the agro-export sector.
Local development
Community infrastructure projects, local participation and strengthening of organisations in areas influenced by Dole Ecuador operations.
