Dole France has announced a new partnership with Primever to reactivate the Port of Sète in Southern France as a crucial hub for fruit imports. This collaboration marks a significant step in optimizing Dole's supply chain and delivering a more sustainable and efficient route to market for its produce.
The new logistics model is designed to streamline operations, reduce costs, and significantly lower the company's carbon footprint by prioritizing maritime transport over road freight for deliveries across southern France. The first vessel under this initiative arrived on March 7th, following Dole France's 2023 investment in a state-of-the-art ripening facility in Sète.
This direct shipping line from West and South Africa also establishes new connections to South America, ensuring a consistent flow of produce to southern France and the Mediterranean region. The initiative underscores Dole France's commitment to responsible, high-performance logistics, benefiting customers, consumers, and partners.
