| Epicurus Institute Analysis |
| Chiquita Brands supplies much of the fruit and vegetables we consume on a daily basis. Their brand marketing strategy has been solid and the company has survived economic swings in either direction, proving it to be a long-term winner. Many of their products are pure, healthy and basic, making them absolute essentialsin food consumption and preparation. Fundamentally, everyone eats their products every day and thus we strongly recommend buying and holding this stock. |
