SL Produce Puts Focus on Sustainability

SL Produce, Los Mochis, Mexico, has committed to making ongoing, substantial investments in an ambitious sustainability strategy, which it hopes will help alleviate challenging growing conditions.

With SL’s home state of Sinaloa facing an unprecedented drought, the company is placing an even greater emphasis on sustainability, including new cultivation methods, and soil and varietal regeneration.

SL, which grows and markets green beans, bell peppers, American slicer cucumbers, zucchini, sweetcorn, yellow squash and gray squash under its Tenderland label, has long been an innovator in sustainability, but 2025 has seen the company further broaden its focus. This includes the expansion of a dedicated department for soil regeneration.

The company has also put in place detailed strategic plans that cover everything from the start of production through to the signing of contracts with customers, particularly in key markets such as the U.S.
