© Rabobank International 2005. All rights reserved. B A Mexican growers prefer "A" over "B." Does your banker know why? To ensure a product tailored to the U.S. market, Mexican growers import virtually all of their seed technology from the U.S. The exception -- tomato seeds. Mexico gets them from Israel because the fruit has the flavor, color and shelf life that U.S. consumers prefer. At Rabobank, we know a lot about the production, processing and distribution of tomatoes - and most other foods on the planet. To learn more, please contact Robert S.
