Super Starr International Shares Updates on Signature Melon Program

COLIMA, Mexico – Super Starr International, Mexico’s premier papaya and melon grower, shipper, and processor, announces promotable volumes available for cantaloupe, honeydew and Hami melons starting in January.

“We had a great season last year and based on retailer demand, we’ve planted to ensure an even better season this winter,” said Lance Peterson, president and third generation farmer of Super Starr International. “Stop by our booth at IFPA later this month and let’s discuss how we can help you meet your shoppers’ growing papaya and melon needs!”

For three generations, Super Starr has farmed in the U.S. and Mexico to produce superior year-round winter melons and papayas by growing, packing, and shipping in-house. Unlike other suppliers, Super Starr controls the quality of its products from planting the initial seed until it’s placed on store shelves. The grower also provides the only Fair-Trade Certified papayas on the market.

Attendees of IFPA’s Global Produce and Floral Show can stop by booth #3456 on October 19-21 to speak with Lance Peterson and place orders for fair-trade papayas and winter melons. For more information on Super Starr International, visit www.superstarrinternational.com.
