RCF Distributors, a leader in the production of Mexican fruits, especially mangoes and citrus fruits, which it exports year-round to the United States, is diversifying its growth with an irresistible proposition: dehydrated mango snacks under the Crespo Organics brand.
In tune with the growing demand for healthy options in the North American market, the company has a product that stands out for its quality and potential to lead the segment.
The family business was founded in 1996 by Roberto Crespo Fitch and has key distribution centers in Arizona and Texas. To expand its presence with value-added products, Crespo Organics’ dehydrated mango responds to the growing demand for healthy, natural, plant-based snacks.
In an interview with Abasto, RCF Distributors President Malú Ruiz-Crespo provided details about the qualities of dehydrated mango and the growth in its commercialization.
Organic, Nutritious, Single-Ingredient Mango
This line is not only a logical extension of their fresh mango business, but also a strategic move to “put more mangoes in the hands of more people throughout the year.”
Crespo Organics dehydrated mango is made from organic varieties, including Kent, Keitt, and Ataulfo. It is a single-ingredient product with no added sugar or preservatives, featuring a sweet tropical flavor and high nutritional value.
The snacks are available in 4-ounce bags, 1-pound bags, and 15-pound bulk bags. They include organic versions, conventional dehydrated mango, and soon chili mango, in new presentations and labels, expanding their appeal among different consumer profiles.
Ruiz-Crespo considers this line not only a logical extension of its fresh mango business, but also a strategic move to “put more mangoes in the hands of more people throughout the year,” reducing seasonal dependence on the fresh product.
Dehydrated mango responds to major megatrends: health and wellness, convenience, plant-based diets, and clean labels.
