Are they direct holdings or are they kept in a separate subsidiary of Dole? Would be interesting to note if they haul non direct competitor goods, there have to be other fruits and vegetables in the ports they frequent that Dole doesn't sell. Curious if they transport much back
- DiabloD3 11y agoI would be surprised if they were not a separate subsidiary of Dole. There is usually no reason to have completely unrelated industries (especially when you depend on many companies in said industry to make your primary business function) as part of your main company, especially when, yes, as you stated, the non-related-industry sub-company will usually look for work to optimize its cash flow, ie, to not have idle assets that could be making money instead. An example we're more use to: Amazon's AWS is a separate company that works for competitors to Amazon's other services (Netflix vs Prime Video, one of the Spotify customers (can't remember which) vs Prime Music, etc.
- thedogeye 11y agoDole Ocean Cargo is a separate subsidiary, they transport all manner of things. If you want to ship a car to Ecuador, call Dole.
