Mission Produce® Expands Distribution to Miami to Serve High-growth Southeast Market

Oxnard, Calif. – Sept. 3, 2025 – Mission Produce, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVO) (“Mission” or “the Company”) a world leader in sourcing, producing, and distributing fresh Hass avocados, today announced the expansion of its operations and distribution to Miami, Fla., enabling the Company to directly service customers in Florida with its signature World’s Finest Avocados™ and World’s Finest Mangos™, as well as provide ripening and bagging services. By operating in Miami, Mission is poised to enhance quality, availability and speed-to-shelf, creating added value for existing customers while expanding its reach in the region.

“Our expansion to Miami demonstrates our commitment to elite customer service and our strategic focus on capturing growth in high-potential markets,” said John Pawlowski, President and Chief Operating Officer, Mission Produce. “This location unlocks our ability to meet the strong demand for high-quality ripe avocados and mangos in Florida with improved quality and efficiency. We are excited to bring Mission’s values and capabilities closer to our customers in the Southeast.”

Miami also serves as a strategic import hub for product sourced from Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, and other offshore origins. By entering Florida directly, Mission can streamline logistics, reduce transit times, and move product seamlessly across its U.S. distribution network. With more than 18,000 retail outlets across the Southeast,¹ the location positions Mission to better service this customer base.

Florida represents one of the strongest growth markets for both avocados and mangos. In the past 12 months, 76% of Florida shoppers purchased avocados and 46% purchased mangos—well above the national average.² The state is also the fastest-growing in the U.S., with 8.2% population growth over the last four years,³ and one in four residents identifies as Hispanic—a core demographic for both categories.⁴ These dynamics create significant opportunity for Mission to drive category growth in this dynamic market.
