Giovanni Cavaletto

Giovanni’s great-grandparents came to California at the turn of the twentieth century and farmed in Santa Barbara County. He grew up on an avocado and lemon farm in Nipomo where he also leased and developed orchards. Giovanni worked as Index’s representative in Urapan and Michoacan, Mexico during the mid 1990s. He has served as an Index field representative and currently is Vice-President of Sourcing, traveling throughout the growing regions of California and Latin America. His practical experience is supported by advanced degrees in both agriculture and business. Giovanni’s understanding of agriculture, grower’s challenges and the greater avocado industry is a tremendous asset to growers and trading partners.
