Trade name:    Chiquita ® or Chiquita ™
One of the most famous brand known mainly for bananas, now they commercialize many other fruit and vegetables: Apples, Avocados, Grapes, Kiwi, Cherries, Melons Pears, Pineapples, Stone Fruit, Greenhouse Vegetables.
Chiquita Brands International Inc. was formed in 1871 by U.S. railroad entrepreneur Henry Meiggs as the United Fruit Company. In 1970 it became the United Brands Company and in 1985 it became Chiquita Brands International.
Logo "Miss Chiquita ®" was created in 1944 on a paper band put around hands of bananas. In 1963 they used for the first time a sticker that is always placed on fruit by hands to avoid damages.
