Sun World International is one of the world’s largest plant variety breeders and global licensors of premium, proprietary produce. The Company’s fruit varieties - currently table grapes, stone fruit, cherries, and mangoes - are planted on more than 72,000 acres (26,000+ hectares) in 17 countries by over 2,000 licensed growers. Sun World is a pioneer in plant variety breeding; its genetics and breeding program dates back to 1976. Sun World was also one of the first to bring proprietary produce to a global audience, launching its international licensing business in 1995. Before focusing exclusively on breeding and licensing, Sun World was a significant fruit producer and marketer, which makes the Company keenly aware of and highly responsive to the needs of fruit growers.
