Del Monte opens $9M packing plant in Costa Rica, adds 207 jobs

Del Monte inaugurated a new fruit packing facility at Finca Los Ángeles in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, following a $9 million investment. The plant will create 207 direct jobs and pack up to 13,500 boxes of fruit daily, expanding the company's regional operations. This signals continued agribusiness investment in Central America, though broader market impact is limited.
