New Rochelle, N.Y. – LGS Specialty Sales, Ltd. (LGS), leading importer and distributor of citrus, avocados and grapes, is preparing to kick off their Peruvian avocado program and summer citrus season with plans to visit partners and growers across the globe.

“We value our partners and the work they do to help us keep our commitment to provide fresh produce to our US customers year-round,” said Luke Sears, president and founder of LGS. “Our summer citrus and Peruvian avocado programs focus on meeting the needs and demands of our customers, and our partners overseas make that possible.”

In addition to Peruvian and Chilean clementines, LGS will be offering fresh lemons from Argentina and Chile, minneolas from Peru and navel oranges from Chile to enhance its summer citrus program.
“Our citrus and avocado programs are a crucial part of the outdoor lifestyle shoppers enjoy during the summer season. From Cinco de Mayo to Labor Day and beyond, our customers are seeking a partner they can count on to meet consumer demand for this special time of year filled with exciting eating occasions. As we continue to enhance and develop our relationships with growers in different regions, we’re able improve our availability of fruit during these months when citrus and avocados are in demand the most,” said Sears.
