    I am a retired UFC/Chiquita executive. I was Vice President of Worldwide Purchase Fruit Operations in charge of operations in the Philippines, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and Jamaica. We prided ourselves to bring top quality fruit to our markets in North America, Europe and Japan. I am appalled what I now see in the Publix supermarkets. For several months now Chiquita is no longer a premium fruit. It is bruised from poor handling along the supply chain. In turn, Winn Dixie’s Dole brand bananas are spotless and much better ripened. It hurts me to see this. Chiquita clearly lacks hands-on management in the field and in the handling. I worked hard to motivate everyone to practice TLC with great results. You need help. Let me know. Banana juice continues running in our veins.

      Mr. Schulz

      I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin and as part of my cultural anthropology class, I am subject to research Chiquita Brands International, as well, as conduct an interview in regards to the company.

      Your voice and input as a retired executive of Chiquita is invaluable and would greatly influence the direction in which my research goes on.

      If you are interested in contacting me, my email is hectorrivascaban@ utexas.edu. Feel free to contact me at any time. Have a wonderful day!
