Description: DOLE Dole January 15, 2026
Dole plc (NYSE:DOLE) is a globally integrated fresh-produce company that sources, processes, markets, and distributes a broad portfolio of fruits and vegetables-including bananas, pineapples, berries, avocados, and organic items-under the DOLE brand to retailers, wholesalers, and food-service operators.
The business is organized into three operating segments: Fresh Fruit; Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA; and Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW, reflecting its geographic diversification across major consumption markets.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year show net sales of roughly $5.9 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin near 6 %, and a banana production volume of about 1.5 million metric tons, positioning Dole as one of the world’s largest banana exporters.
Sector-level drivers that materially affect Dole’s outlook include accelerating consumer demand for healthy, minimally processed foods, price volatility tied to climate-related risks in tropical growing regions, and rising input costs (labor, fuel, and packaging) that compress margins across the fresh-produce supply chain.
