Miami-based Quirch Foods launched a licensing agreement with Chiquita Brands, Charlotte, N.C., to sell Chiquita frozen Maduros (ripe plantains), Tostones (green plantains), Yuca (cassava) and fruit pulp (for juice and smoothies).
“Adding the Chiquita brand to our products will raise awareness of the category on a national level,” says Frank Grande, vice president of sales.
