When our fruits and vegetables are harvested and packed, and why Concord Wholesale's frozen and canned products deliver peak-season quality in every month of the year.
Every crop has a peak season, the weeks when it is harvested at its best quality and in its largest volume. That is when our production partners pack the most product. Concord Wholesale's IQF frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are packed at peak and sold year-round, so foodservice distributors, private-label buyers, beverage chains and food manufacturers get peak-season quality no matter when they order.

This calendar reflects the main tropical growing regions our production partners work in. Harvests shift with weather, region and planting schedules, and many crops are grown somewhere almost year-round, so use it as a guide rather than an exact schedule.
Fresh fruit and vegetables only travel well for a short time. We work the other way: our production partners harvest at peak, then wash, cut and freeze or can each crop within its season.
Browse our frozen fruit and frozen vegetables, or see how we hold every supplier to our food safety and quality standards.
In the growing regions our production partners work in, the main mango harvest runs from February through May. The rest of the year brings smaller off-season harvests. Frozen mango packed during the spring peak keeps supply steady in every month.
Dragon fruit peaks from June through October, with smaller harvests the rest of the year from staggered planting.
Passion fruit peaks from June through September, with lower volumes from October to May.
Fruit is harvested and frozen at peak season, when quality and volume are highest. Properly stored IQF fruit keeps for up to 24 months at 0°F (−18°C), so product packed at peak can be shipped in any month.
IQF stands for individually quick frozen. Each piece of fruit or vegetable is frozen separately and quickly, so pieces stay loose in the bag, portion easily by weight and keep their texture, color and flavor.
No. It is a guide based on the main tropical growing regions our production partners work in. Weather, region and planting schedules shift harvests from year to year, and many crops are grown somewhere almost year-round.
