Our Operation
Sun Pacific – A Global Leader in the Field
Sun Pacific is vertically integrated, ensuring the highest quality produce throughout the supply chain, from careful planting and harvesting, to meticulous packing and shipping, and exceptional selling and marketing. Our competitive advantage is built on the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit that began with our founder’s vision – to cultivate the fertile California land and create specialty produce that delights customers and consumers across the country and beyond.
– Reuse of plant material that has been pruned and is mulched into the soil, increasing organic matter for improved nutrient availability and water holding capacity
– Use of integrated pest management in conjunction with pesticides to fight invasive pests, resulting in a reduction of pesticides
– Use of nutrient management plans and nitrate budgeting (soil, water and leaf tissue tests) to reduce fertilizers
– Retrofit of lighting in all five Sun Pacific facilities reducing total kilowatt output
– New 7-acre solar panel investment to provide 30% of renewable energy for our Maricopa Packing facilities, which will be functioning for season 2016-17
We invest heavily in leading technologies to custom pack produce for a range of specifications required by our partners across North America and around the world. This customized approach, coupled with our logistic and distribution capabilities, allows us to maintain superior quality beyond the farm gates, throughout the supply chain and into our customers’ hands.
