Sun World was established in early 1­976 as a packer and marketer of fresh fruits and vegetables. In the 1980s, consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables was on the rise and consumers were increasingly seeking better tasting, more conveniently available produce. As the market changed, so did Sun World. The Company exited the commodity fruit and vegetable business and became involved in the farming, packing and marketing of an extensive collection of specialty-branded produce.Sun World initiated a series of relationships with various research and academic organizations around the world, setting out on its quest to improve the flavor, color, texture and overall quality of specific fruits and vegetables.

Perhaps the US company least susceptible to an outbreak of scurvy among its employees, Sunkist Growers is an agricultural cooperative owned by California and Arizona citrus growers who farm some 300,000 acres. Sunkist offers traditional and organic fresh oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and tangerines worldwide. The company also makes cut fruit in jars and juice. Fruit that doesn't meet fresh market standards is turned into juices, oils, and peels for use in food products made by other manufactures. Its customers include food retailers and manufacturers and foodservice operators.

This company, run by the Mixon family, uses sunshine as a key ingredient to produce bounteous crops of fresh berries. It operates 1,125 acres in three southern states and Mexico. Blueberries account for 70% of sales, while blackberries bring in 20%, and raspberries, the remaining 10%. In addition to its own fields, the Mixons operate a marketing company, called SunnyRidge Farm, to sell fruit. The operation is made up of 125 independent growers in Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, North Carolina, California, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and Mexico. Together, the SunnyRidge farmers market some 40 million pounds of berries a year. In 2008 the company expanded its offerings to include strawberries.

The folks at Sunrise Growers are up long before the sun rises, hand-picking fresh strawberries from the fields. The company, which also raises, processes, and supplies fresh red bell peppers, markets and ships its produce throughout the US, as well as to Pacific Rim countries. Sunrise serves customers in the retail food, food manufacturing, and foodservice industries. The company's sister business, Frozsun Foods, processes part of Sunrise's crop, some of which it combines with other fruits, into frozen packs, toppings, purees, juicestock, and other beverage bases.
