The business traces its origins to 1909 as the Florida Citrus Exchange Cooperative, was rebranded to Seald Sweet in 1957, became Seald Sweet LLC in 1998 after merging with UNIVEG and De Weide Blik America, and was acquired by Greenyard Group in 2015. Recent strategic moves include the 2017 launch of the Greenyard Logistics USA facility and Arizona vegetable division, the 2019 launch of the tropical division, and the 2022 first-to-market introduction of Jalisco avocados in the US.
