Sustainability Advantage Jac. Vandenberg's focus on Sustainably Grown SUNRAYS mandarins, zero-waste packaging, and recognized sustainability credentials (Planet Mark, U.S. Plastics Pact award) creates a strong ESG narrative retailers can use to justify premium shelf space and ESG-aligned promotions.

SUNRAYS Growth The SUNRAYS mandarins program, with first shipments and planned U.S. market availability, plus home compostable grape bags introduced previously, signals a growing sustainable SKU pipeline ideal for retailers aiming to differentiate with eco-conscious products.

Packaging Innovation Award-winning home compostable netting and the introduction of home compostable grape pouches position Jac. Vandenberg as a supplier of innovative, waste-reducing packaging, a compelling lever in retailer RFPs and ESG reporting.

Strategic Partnerships Collaborations like Citrus America juicing showcases demonstrate openness to co-marketing and product demo opportunities that can boost category adjacencies and cross-sell with retailers and foodservice channels.

Mid-Market Agility As a family-owned, mid-sized importer with a track record of sustainability awards, Jac. Vandenberg offers nimble, ESG-backed sourcing and flexible terms that can appeal to regional grocers and mid-market retailers seeking reliable, purpose-driven fruit programs.
