    We are proud to announce our two-year collaboration with the Instituto Nacional de Aprendizaje (INA), a prestigious technical learning institute in Costa Rica. This partnership offers students the opportunity to gain practical training on our farms in key areas such as quality, maintenance, and production, following the German model of "alternation." By splitting their time between theoretical classes and hands-on experience, students will complete their certification with a unique and valuable addition to traditional education. Upon graduating, top-performing students will have the chance to work with us at Chiquita. This initiative is a significant step forward for the development of the villages around our farms. It provides an alternative path to obtaining a formal certificate backed by the government, contributing to community development and sustainable farming. We are humbled by the opportunity to invest in education and community development and are excited to soon extend this program to our farms in Panama. Stay tuned for more updates! #Education #CommunityDevelopment #SustainableFarming #TechnicalTraining

    What a fantastic Bring Your Child to Work Day at Chiquita! 🍌 Our chiquitos and chiquitas had a blast seeing firsthand the dedication and hard work their parents put into making our company culture so special. They visited our ripening center in Port Everglades, learning all about the journey of bananas from farm to lunch box – their excitement was contagious! The highlight? Watching them get creative by designing their own marketing campaigns. The future of Chiquita looks bright with these young minds! Thank you to all the parents and our internal teams who made this day unforgettable. It's moments like these that remind us why our work matters and how we're building a legacy for future generations of bananeros. #FutureLeaders #BringYourChildToWorkDay #CompanyCulture

    Earth day 2024 🌍 The perfect moment to look back at what #Yelloway has accomplished in the past years and look forward with confidence on achieving our goals to breed disease resistant bananas, with a lower carbon footprint. Yelloway - has successfully established a greenhouse that meets our unique requirements - has been successful in growing more than 1,000 banana plants representing over 150 types of bananas among cultivated and wild relatives - has sequenced and assembled the genome of several types of banana plants - is now capable of classifying, understanding, and selecting the best parents - has developed additional molecular tools for breeding thanks to DNA technology, including: Molecular markers to facilitate breeding, identification of potential genes of interest, and new protocols for disease-testing for Black Sigatoka and Fusarium TR4 - made a range of unique crosses, which allowed us to develop improved parents with different traits such as resistance - selected the offspring that will find their way into the field-trials throughout 2024 Together, the Yelloway partners Chiquita, KeyGene and MusaRadix want to be a driving force in creating a more sustainable and diverse banana industry. Happy Earth day!” #Earthday #Bananas #Chiquita #KeyGene #MusaRadix
