DOLE FOOD CO INC

Dole Food Co. Inc. traces its lineage to a century-old agricultural heartland, combining large-scale tropical and specialty crop cultivation with a global fresh and packaged food network that delivers bananas, pineapples, salads, and value-added fruit products to grocers and foodservice chains across North America, Asia, and Europe; operating under SIC conventions tied to agricultural production and food processing, it spans planting, harvesting, and chilled-packaging operations that depend on weather patterns, commodity cycles, and international trade flows, while regulatory oversight includes both USDA and FDA standards plus import/export quarantine rules, tariffs, and sustainability scrutiny in the wake of climate-conscious sourcing requirements. Customers ranging from multinational retailers to regional distributors count on Dole’s cold-chain logistics and branded convenience offerings, yet the company must also manage labor and geopolitical risks, currency volatility, and evolving food-safety mandates that can affect supply continuity. CIK 18169 keeps investors apprised of those dynamics, and you can view live SEC filings on Earnings Feed.
