With plant operations centralized in Lodi, California, Rivermaid Trading Company handles all varieties of pears, cherries and asparagus from the major growing regions of Central and Northern California and Oregon.
The company owns and manages 7,600 acres, and operates 80,000 sq. ft. of packing facilities. These packing operations include 5 pear packing lines, 2 cherry packing lines with automated clamshell and bagging capabilities and 7 forced-air cooling tunnels to help maintain flavor after fruit conditioning or packing.
Rivermaid Trading Company also operates 150,000 sq. ft. of racked cold storage with ethylene monitoring to ensure optimum storage conditions. Conditioning rooms and modular conditioning units enable the conditioning of one load at a time with the most precise management available. And because Rivermaid Trading Company uses modified atmosphere (MA) technology to create an unsurpassed long-term storage environment, it allows the company to pack-to-order rather than merely to move fruit.
Innovation has always played a pivotal role in the success of Rivermaid Trading Company, and continues to drive us as we pioneer new ways to serve international markets with the finest produce on the planet.
