Sun World was one of the pioneers of produce licensing, offering unique varietals to international growers, who now number over 2,700. Those decades-long relationships with our licensees, remain the bedrock of the company today.
TODAY, SUN WORLD’S TABLE GRAPE BREEDING PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND LONGEST-RUNNING IN THE WORLD, WITH 70,000+ ACRES PLANTED IN 17 COUNTRIES, AND 450+ PLANT PATENTS HELD ACROSS A ROBUST GENETICS PLATFORM.
Adding adjacent crops to our commanding portfolio of table grape and stone fruit germplasm has been a driver for Sun World for a decade. To that end, we’ve most recently added cherry, mango and mandarin genetics to our range, and are building out those capabilities to better serve our 2,700+ licensees. Making certain that the quality of any new genetics we add, equals that of our superior table grape and stone fruit varieties, is simply non-negotiable.
