Calavo Growers

Calavo Growers is a produce company that packages, markets, and distributes fresh avocados, tomatoes, Hawaiian papayas, and prepared foods such as guacamole and other avocado-based dips. Founded in 1924 and based in Santa Paula, California, it has operated for over a century as one of North America's established avocado suppliers. In May 2026 the company was acquired by Mission Produce, Inc. in a cash-and-stock deal and is no longer an independently publicly traded company.
