Founded by Michel Matouk in 2018, World Fresh Produce’s management team has decades of collective produce industry experience with a commitment to quality. The company’s focus on offshore, direct-from-grower, supply relationships creates value chains where customers obtain efficient and consistent supply, and growers gain access to key markets in North America.

“Our goal has always been to provide top-notch speciality products and services to our customers,” added Matouk. “With World Fresh Produce now part of the South Mill Champs family, we are even better positioned to meet the diverse needs of customers across North America.” Matouk will lead SMC’s produce sourcing operations as Vice President of Global Produce Sourcing going forward.
