Frontera has entered a partnership that makes it one of the largest melon growers and suppliers in the US.
Joining forces with Santa Rosa Produce, it has added an Arizona melon farm to existing bases in Honduras, Texas, California and Colorado.
Will Steele, Frontera's president and CEO, said: 'In addition to a much higher volume of fruit, our logistics capabilities will expand, giving us the opportunity to provide a higher level of customer service than we've ever done before.'
Frontera has also opened a new sales office in the greater Cincinnati area that will concentrate on selling and marketing cantaloupes and honeydew melons.
Branch manager Don Johnston said the expansion would help the company 'reach into new markets'.
