Freska Produce's Gary Clevenger Discusses Dependable Premium Organic Mango Supply in Lead Up to OPS 2026

Ours is an industry at its best when gathering together and shaking hands.

Pointing to the Organic Produce Summit (OPS) as a key event for retailers, wholesalers, and industry partners focused on organic produce, Freska Produce International shared that it is preparing to showcase the strength of its year-round organic mango program and its growing presence within the tropical fruit category.

"The most important thing buyers should know is that Freska is committed to being a dependable, year-round supplier of premium organic mangos," said Gary Clevenger, Managing Partner of Freska Produce International. "We have strong grower relationships, experienced quality control teams at origin and destination, and a logistics network designed to ensure fruit arrives in excellent condition. Organic consumers continue to expect great eating quality, and that's where we place our focus every day."

With the Monterey, California-based event fast-approaching, Gary shared that there is much to dive into, starting with its flagship category.

"Our organic mango program continues to grow, with year-round sourcing from Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador, allowing us to provide consistent supply across multiple varieties and seasons," Gary stated. Explaining that evolving consumer demand for organic tropical fruit has meant a need to maintain consistent supply while adapting to the needs of its retail partners, Gary explained how the company has continued to invest in packaging options that meet retailer needs, including both bulk and consumer-ready formats. “As demand for organic tropical fruit continues to increase, we're focused on maintaining flexibility while delivering quality and value."

In addition to an expanding organic mango program, Freska is continuing to broaden its offerings across the tropical fruit category and expand its support across the department.

"Freska is more than a mango company," Gary said. “In addition to our fresh organic mango program, Freska continues to expand its organic dried mango offering, featuring no sugar added, no additives, and 100 percent organic fruit. Many of our organic programs also include Fair Trade certified options, helping retailers meet growing consumer demand for responsibly sourced produce.”

And Freska sees this year's OPS as an ideal opportunity to highlight the reliability of its supply chain and its commitment to delivering premium organic fruit throughout the year.

As it continues to focus on building long-term partnerships and helping retailers grow both their tropical and organic categories through dependable supply, quality fruit, and responsive service, there couldn’t be a better time to meet face to face with the team in Monterey, California.
