Calavo Growers Inc. announced that it has created FreshRealm, LLC, a technology company building a platform for everyone who is in the fresh food business--or would like to be to enable them to do their job more effectively. Calavo will be the majority shareholder with a few key strategic minority partners. Terms were not further disclosed. FreshRealm's technology platform will allow participants such as traditional retailers, large and small enterprises, communities and food banks to plug in to an ecosystem resembling a national fresh food cooperative. FreshRealm will not sell direct to consumers but instead will serve as the engine that connects participants to a network of regional fresh food producers. By logically connecting the dots in the fresh food industry, FreshRealm is able to create business value while also greatly reducing food waste. Built into their ecosystem is a plan to gift surplus food to the people and places that need it most.
