Targets where most of the production come from Mexico where higher yields can be achieved due to lower labor and land costs and where the value-added distribution occurs in the United States and Canada.

This strategy seeks to resolve the problem around the reliability of supply and is also designed to enable higher margin capture with an integrated value chain from the farm to the end retail market.
