In its third quarter earnings report for fiscal 2025, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. announced a strategic shift with the divestiture of Mann Packing and the exit from underperforming banana farms.

The company faced a net loss of $29.1 million, while adjusted net income was $33.1 million. The gross margin decreased to 7.9%, impacted by higher production and distribution costs.
