The story of Sun World is a story of firsts, mosts, and innovation, that informed our company at inception and continues to be the primary driver today. Beginning in the 1980’s, Sun World disrupted the produce business by introducing new proprietary fruits and vegetables to an industry accustomed to commodities.

In 2024, Sun World acquired South Africa-based variety rights manager Biogold who enjoys global preeminence in citrus and mangos, as well as an emerging program in avocados. This joining of incredible people and industry-leading portfolios is proving to be incalculably valuable to Sun World’s licensees and their retail customers.

Today, Sun World’s 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.
