After having purchased the exclusive marketing rights in 2004, in 2007 Dole bought the full ownership rights for these varieties, along with the majority share in the remaining Manchester crossings.
This totals approximately 900 new potential varieties. Among them, three table grape varieties stand out: black seedless Desert, white seeded Moonballs, red seeded Alpha Red, which are eco-friendly and uniquely attractive.
With Mando varieties, Dole aims at answering both producers’ high-quality plant expectations and consumer’s sweet tooth.
