In February 2018, Total Produce acquired a 45 percent equity stake in Dole Food Company.[4] For antitrust reasons, Total Produce agreed to divest Saba Fresh Cuts in Sweden and Finland to Bama Gruppen.[5]
On 30 July 2021, Total Produce plc merged with Dole Food Company, Inc under the new name "Dole plc."[6]
