Dole Pineapple Slices in Juice

Dole is one of the world's most recognizable names in fruit, with a history dating back to James Dole's arrival in Hawaii in 1901. The brand became a global powerhouse in tropical fruit production, transitioning from the Hawaiian Pineapple Company to the Dole Food Company. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its footprint globally, establishing significant farming and processing operations across a variety of tropical regions.

While the brand was born in the United States, its ownership and supply chain have evolved into a complex multi-national structure. Today, the Dole brand is split between different corporate entities depending on the region and product type. For the canned fruit products typically found in Australia and Asia, the brand is owned by Dole Packaged Foods, which is a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Itochu Corporation. Manufacturing for these canned products primarily occurs in Southeast Asian nations like the Philippines and Thailand, where the climate is optimal for pineapple cultivation.
