Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business Mission Produce, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Mission,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a global leader in the avocado industry. The Company’s expertise lies in the farming, packaging, marketing and distribution of avocados to food retailers, distributors and produce wholesalers worldwide. The Company procures avocados principally from California, Mexico and Peru. Through our various operating facilities, we grow, sort, pack, bag and ripen avocados and a small amount of other fruits for distribution to domestic and international markets. We report our results of operations in three reportable segments which are also equivalent to operating segments: Marketing and Distribution, International Farming and Blueberries (see Note 17). |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation and consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary and have a controlling interest. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported balances in the consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current period presentation, including $1.0 million in loans from noncontrolling interest holders, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures, that were previously reported in other long-term liabilities. Consolidation of VIE On May 1, 2022, a reconsideration event (explained in Note 3) occurred related to Moruga S.A.C., an entity for which we have a 60% equity ownership interest. Moruga S.A.C. is a holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary Blueberries Peru, S.A.C. (collectively referred to as “Moruga”). Moruga was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting, where investments are stated at initial cost and adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. As a result of the reconsideration event, we concluded that Moruga is a VIE, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary with a controlling financial interest. Based on this conclusion, Moruga was prospectively consolidated on May 1, 2022. Refer to Note 8 for more information related to our VIE in Moruga. Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less and money market mutual funds to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values. Restricted cash represents cash and cash equivalents that are restricted to withdrawal or use as of the reporting date under contractual terms or regulatory requirements. As of October 31, 2023 and 2022, the restricted cash balances related to statutory requirements to support various programs at the Company’s farms. Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are reported at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect its estimate of the uncollectability of the trade accounts receivable based on past collection history, the identification of specific potential customer risks, and other factors. Grower and fruit advances The Company makes advances to growers and foreign suppliers who supply fruit to the Company. Such advances reduce amounts otherwise due to the growers or suppliers for fruit sales. Other accounts receivable Other accounts receivable represent non-trade receivables and primarily consist of value-added taxes (“VAT”) collected on behalf of tax authorities. VAT included in other accounts receivable was $11.8 million and $14.4 million as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Inventory Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method for finished goods and raw materials. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Crop growing costs are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are deferred and charged to cost of goods sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The deferred crop growing costs included in inventory consist primarily of orchard maintenance costs such as cultivation, irrigation, fertilization, soil amendments, pest control and pruning. We assess the recoverability of inventories through an ongoing review of inventory levels in relation to sales and forecasts and product marketing plans. When the inventory on hand, at the time of review, exceeds the foreseeable demand, the value of inventory that is not expected to be sold is written down. The amount of the write-down is the excess of historical cost over estimated net realizable value. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. The assessment of the recoverability of inventories and the amounts of any write-downs are based on currently available information and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Demand for avocados and other fruit may fluctuate significantly over time, and actual demand and market conditions may be more or less favorable than our projections. In the event that actual demand is lower than originally projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using rates based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Orchards, trees and bushes refer to avocado, mangos and blueberry plants, which accumulate planting and development costs that are capitalized into their basis until they become commercially productive, at which point the asset begins depreciating, and future maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. If proceeds are obtained from sales of fruit before commercial production begins, the net proceeds are applied to the capitalized cost of the trees. Planting costs consist primarily of the costs to purchase and plant nursery stock. Development costs consist of cultivation, pruning, irrigation, labor, spraying and fertilization, and interest costs during the development period. Leased assets and leasehold improvements meeting certain criteria are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the expected lease term or the useful life of the asset using the straight-line method. October 31, (In millions) Useful lives 2023 2022 Land $ 157.9 $ 141.4 Orchards/trees/bushes 7 to 25 years 129.1 102.0 Buildings and improvements 20 to 40 years 124.6 120.1 Equipment 3 to 20 years 235.8 201.1 Construction-in-progress 29.0 47.0 Property, plant and equipment $ 676.4 $ 611.6 Accumulated depreciation (153.2) (121.9) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 523.2 $ 489.7 Depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment, net was $31.3 million, $24.0 million, and $20.4 million for the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Farming costs for nonproductive orchards We lease land for the development of new orchards. During the development period, these costs are referred to as farming costs for nonproductive orchards and are expensed as incurred, and included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Interest accretion on finance lease liabilities is expensed as incurred and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Leases We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified assets means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. For leases where we are the lessee, we recognize the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for all leases other than those with a term of 12 months or less, as we have elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are classified and recognized at the commencement date of a lease. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets consist of: (i) initial measurement of the lease liability; (ii) lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and (iii) initial direct costs incurred by us. Lease payments may vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement, including changes in inflation indices. Variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. For income statement purposes, we recognize straight-line rent expense for operating leases. For finance leases, we recognize interest expense associated with the lease liability and depreciation expense associated with the ROU asset. For ROU assets held under finance leases and leasehold improvements, the estimated useful lives are limited to the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Many of our lease arrangements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in the lease term unless we are reasonably certain to exercise it. We have lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. From a lessee perspective, we have elected to apply the practical expedient to combine lease and related non-lease components, for all classes of underlying assets, and account for the combined contract as a lease component. Equity method investees We maintain investments in other fruit growers, packers and distributors. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence generally exists when we have an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. We review our investments for other-than temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis, or earlier if indicators of impairment arise. If an impairment of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, we would record OTTI sufficient to reduce the investment’s carrying value to its fair value, which results in a new cost basis in the investment. There was no OTTI identified in the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 that would have required us to test for impairment. Long-lived assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset being tested, an impairment is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimate of undiscounted cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about future operating performance, growth rates and other factors. Estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes in operating performance. For fiscal years 2023 and 2021, we did not identify any indicators of impairment that would have required the Company to test its long-lived assets for impairment. However, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company determined that there was an impairment indicator associated with our Peruvian farming operations asset group, however the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group exceeded its carrying value. Goodwill Our goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of business combinations over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill impairment testing requires significant judgment and management estimates, including, but not limited to, the determination of (i) the number of reporting units, (ii) the goodwill and other assets and liabilities to be allocated to the reporting units and (iii) the fair values of the reporting units. The estimates and assumptions described above, along with other factors such as discount rates, will significantly affect the outcome of the impairment tests and the amounts of any resulting impairment losses. We may use either a qualitative or quantitative approach when testing a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year, and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If we use a qualitative approach and determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we would then perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test, which would consist primarily of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis and guideline publicly-traded companies (“GPC”) analysis to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Fair value of financial instruments The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value for the assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The framework has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices, other than those in Level 1, in markets that are not active or for similar assets and liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 or level 3 measurements during the years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. We believe that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximates fair value based on either their short-term nature or on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets. Due to current market rates, we believe that our long-term obligations have fair values that approximate carrying values. Refer to Note 14 for further information. Interest rate swaps The Company has four separate interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $100 million to hedge changes in variable interest rates on the principal value of the Company’s term loans. The interest rate swaps carried fixed LIBOR rates ranging from 1.75% to 2.57%. Three of the four interest rate swaps matured during fiscal year 2023. As of October 31, 2023, the remaining interest swap notional amount of $25 million carries a fixed rate of 2.30% and matures in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. We account for the interest rate swaps in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended, which requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The Company has not designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, and as a result under the accounting guidance, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps have been recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and changes in the asset or liability are presented in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flow. Refer to Note 14 for more details. Revenue recognition We recognize revenue according to the model under ASC 606, which requires the recognition of revenue when performance obligations to customers have been satisfied in amounts equal to the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. For our customer contracts, we identify the performance obligations (products or services), determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when the performance obligation is fulfilled, which is when the product is shipped to or received by the customer, depending on the specific terms of the arrangement. Our revenues are recorded at a point in time. Revenue recognized from product sales is based primarily on purchase orders issued by customers which specify shipping terms and details of the transaction. The performance obligations in a given transaction are determined by the individual purchase orders with revenue recognized at the time that the performance obligations have been satisfied. Shipping and handling activities that occur prior to the transfer of control of goods to the customer are treated as fulfillment activities related to the promise to transfer goods, rather than as performance obligations. Amounts collected from customers for sales and other similar taxes are excluded from the transaction price. Most performance obligations are subject to customer acceptance. However, our customers have an implicit and explicit right to return products following acceptance, if they are found not to conform to the specifications generally agreed upon or detailed in the individual purchase orders. We evaluate the need for provisions related to product return allowances based on estimates and record such provisions as a reduction in revenue in the same period that revenue for the related transactions is recognized. We routinely enter into consignment arrangements to purchase fruit from foreign suppliers in which we do not take legal title of the good prior to selling those goods to customers. The Company has evaluated its role in such transactions and has concluded that it has control of the products due to our ability to determine the sales price and our role as the primary obligor in the transactions with the end customer. As a result, we are deemed to act as the principal rather than the agent, and therefore recognize and report revenue on a gross basis for its consignment arrangements. Stock-based compensation The Company uses the fair value recognition method for accounting for stock-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition method, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. When vesting is based on both service and a performance condition, expense relative to such awards is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award, adjusted for the probably of achievement at the reporting date. Forfeitures are recognized in the period they occur. Stock-based awards primarily consist of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”), the fair value of which is determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. See Note 13 for more information. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Such costs were $0.2 million for the year ended October 31, 2023 and $0.3 million for both years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021. Employee benefits We sponsor various defined contribution retirement plans for employees, the largest of which is the 401(k)-retirement plan in the U.S. Eligible employees can defer up to 60% of their compensation subject to fixed annual limits. Employees eligible for catch-up contributions may contribute additional contributions of their compensation subject to fixed annual limits. The Company makes a 100% matching contribution on deferrals up to 3%, and 50% on deferrals over 3% up to 5%. Contributions are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Total contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) plan were $1.0 million for the year ended October 31, 2023, and $0.9 million for both years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021. Income taxes The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as prescribed by ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates in the period during which they are signed into law. The factors used to assess the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented. Under ASC 740 a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the correct character. Failure to achieve previously forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could negatively impact the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest income or expense/penalties attributable to the overpayment or underpayment, respectively, of income taxes is recognized as an element of our provision for income taxes. As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed, and we will recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer applies. Conversely, we record additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Foreign currency translation and remeasurement Our foreign operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency transaction costs. The functional currency for our most significant foreign subsidiaries is the United States dollar. When remeasuring from a local currency to the functional currency, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity are remeasured at historical rates when remeasuring from a local currency to the functional currency. Sales and expenses are remeasured using weighted-average exchange rates for each period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Earnings per share We compute earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, which requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income attributable to us, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of contracts to issue shares (e.g., equity awards) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The computation of diluted EPS includes the estimated impact of the exercise of contracts to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method. Potential shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Risk concentration Accounts receivable from a single customer represented 16% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2023 and 13% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2022. Accounts receivable from two other customers each represented 8% and 6% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2023, respectively. These same two customers each represented 11% and 12% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2022, respectively. Sales to our top 10 customers amounted to approximately 65% of net sales for the year ended October 31, 2023 and 59% of net sales for both years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021. For the year ended October 31, 2023, one customer represented 18% of net sales. For the year ended October 31, 2022, one single customer represented 13% of net sales. For the year ended October 31, 2021, no single customer represented more than 10% of net sales. Net sales from our top 10 customers are concentrated in our Marketing and Distribution segment, with exception to sales generated by our Blueberries segment, for which substantially all sales are from a single customer with which we have an exclusive marketing agreement. Recently issued accounting standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose significant segment expenses impacting profit and loss that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The update is required to be applied retrospectively to prior periods presented, based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405), which among other things, requires certain disclosures for a buyer in a supplier finance program. Some of the amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and others are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which among other things, requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of ASU 2022-02 is not expected to be material on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Business Combination | Business Combination The Company owns a 60% equity interest in Moruga, which was established in 2014 when it began small-scale blueberry plantings in Peru. Since inception, Moruga has expanded to approximately 900 productive acres. On May 1, 2022, the shareholders of Moruga amended and restated its shareholders agreement (“the Amendment”), wherein certain supermajority requirements that previously prevented the Company from directing the primary activities of Moruga were removed. In connection with the Amendment, shareholders approved a new capital project to farm approximately 1,500 additional acres of blueberries in the Olmos region of Peru. Blueberries produced will be marketed through an agreement which gives exclusive marketing rights to a minority shareholder. The new capital project is anticipated to require a total investment of approximately $50 million, the majority of which will be funded by cash flow generated by Moruga and supplemented by pro-rata shareholder contributions based on each shareholders’ respective ownership interest. The Amendment resulted in the consolidation of Moruga because the Company concluded that that Moruga was a VIE, and the Company could control the primary activities of Moruga and is the primary beneficiary of the entity. Upon consolidation, Moruga was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. In relation to our preexisting equity interest, we recognized a remeasurement gain of $2.0 million, calculated as the difference between our 60% investment carrying value of $28.2 million and its acquisition date fair value of $30.2 million. Fair value allocation of Moruga The fair value of Moruga is a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Management estimated the fair value of Moruga with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, using a combination of the GPC method under the market approach and the DCF method under the income approach. We applied an equal weighting to the value conclusions resulting from the two employed approaches, because there was sufficient information available to estimate fair value under both methods. Under the GPC method, valuation multiples are calculated from the operating data and market metrics of the GPCs, and are then evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of the entity relative to the comparable GPCs. The significant inputs used to estimate the fair value of the investment under the GPC method are the selected business enterprise value (“BEV”) to EBITDA multiple and BEV to revenue multiple. Of the derived multiples, we selected 8.0x for BEV to EBITDA and 1.1x for BEV to revenue. The mean and median multiples of the GPCs were 9.1x and 9.2x for BEV to EBITDA, respectively, and 1.1x and 0.7x for BEV to revenue, respectively. Under the DCF method, the most significant inputs used to estimate the fair value are the cash flow projections, which are sensitive to the revenue projections, and the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC”) which is used to discount and present value the projected cash flows. For the revenue projections, we assumed a nearly flat annual growth rate based on the maturity of the existing blueberry plants for the discrete forecast period from 2023 to 2032, prior to reaching the terminal period. The WACC was estimated using a capital asset pricing model and the discount rate used to present value the future cash flows was 9%. Goodwill represents the excess of the sum of the fair value of our previously held equity interest and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest, over the net of the acquisition-date values of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is attributable to our expected ability to utilize our existing infrastructure and workforce in Peru during the complementary periods between avocado harvest and processing seasons. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes. Amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows: (In millions) Fair value of 100% of Moruga $ 50.4 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Inventory 7.7 Other current assets 7.7 Property, plant and equipment 29.6 Intangible asset 2.8 Other assets 5.6 Goodwill 12.5 Current liabilities (4.5) Deferred tax liability (3.0) Other liabilities (8.0) $ 50.4 The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Moruga on the acquisition date was $20.2 million. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Asset, net | Goodwill and Intangible Asset, net Goodwill Changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment were as follows: (In millions) International Farming Blueberries Total Goodwill as of October 31, 2021 $ 76.4 $ — $ 76.4 Business combination with Moruga (Note 3) — 12.5 12.5 Impairment (49.5) — (49.5) Goodwill as of October 31, 2022 $ 26.9 $ 12.5 $ 39.4 Goodwill as of October 31, 2023 $ 26.9 $ 12.5 $ 39.4 The carrying amounts of goodwill as of October 31, 2023 and 2022 were net of accumulated impairment losses of $49.5 million, attributable to the International Farming segment. For the year ended October 31, 2023, management performed its annual goodwill impairment tests of its two reporting units, which indicated that is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units exceed their carrying values as of October 31, 2023. For the Peruvian farming reporting unit within the International Farming segment, we performed a Step 1 analysis, using a combination of the income and market approaches. For the Blueberries reporting unit and segment, we performed a Step 0 qualitative analysis. For the year ended October 31, 2022, management performed its annual goodwill impairment test on its Peruvian farming reporting unit within the International Farming segment. With the assistance of a third-party specialist, management performed a quantitative assessment of the fair value of the reporting unit using the GPC and DCF methods described above in Note 3. We applied an equal weighting to the value conclusions resulting from the two employed approaches, because there was sufficient information to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit under both methods. The selected BEV to EBITDA multiple used in the GPC method was 12.0x for the first forecast year and 8.0x for the second forecast year. The mean and median BEV to EBITDA multiples of GPCs were 10.0x and 8.8x, respectively. The discount rate used in the DCF model was 17.5%, which reflects a significant increase in the WACC due to recent rising interest rates. In addition, forecasted cash flows have been negatively impacted by tax law repealing tax benefits to agribusiness entities in Peru. Peruvian corporate tax rates will increase from the rate in effect on the date of repeal of 15% to 29.5% by calendar year 2028. When forecasting cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2022, production and sales information regarding the 2022 avocado harvest in Peru became available, along with information on the impact of inflationary pressures on the Peruvian farming cost structure, lowering management’s profitability forecasts for the reporting unit. As a result of the valuations performed, management concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was lower than its carrying value by $49.5 million, which was recorded as an impairment charge to goodwill in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. In the Blueberries segment, there were no indicators of impairment to the blueberries reporting unit following the recording of goodwill in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the result of management’s annual impairment assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the single reporting unit in the International Farming segment exceeded its carrying value. Intangible asset, net October 31, (In millions) 2023 2022 Intangible asset, gross $ 2.8 $ 2.8 Accumulated amortization (2.3) (0.8) Intangible asset, net $ 0.5 $ 2.0 The intangible asset, net consists of a distributor relationship entirely attributed to the business combination with Moruga on May 1, 2022. The intangible asset has an amortizable life of 2 years, to be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses coinciding with the timing of the estimated revenues. Amortization expense was $1.5 million and $0.8 million for years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The remaining amortization expense of $0.5 million is expected to be recognized during the year ended October 31, 2024. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation We are from time to time involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes and other business matters. On April 23, 2020, former Mission Produce, Inc. employees filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against us alleging violation of certain wage and labor laws in California, including failure to pay all overtime wages, minimum wage violations, and meal and rest period violations, among others. Additionally, on June 10, 2020, former Mission Produce, Inc. employees filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Ventura against us alleging similar violations of certain wage and labor laws. The plaintiffs in both cases seek damages primarily consisting of class certification and payment of wages earned and owed, plus other consequential and special damages. While the Company believes that it did not violate any wage or labor laws, it nevertheless decided to settle these class action lawsuits. In May 2021, the plaintiffs in both class action lawsuits and the Company agreed preliminarily to a comprehensive settlement to resolve both class action cases for a total of $0.8 million, which the Company recorded as a loss contingency in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income during the three months ended April 30, 2021. The parties executed a stipulation of settlement agreement on such terms in November 2021. This preliminary settlement was approved by the applicable courts in October 2022. In the course of preparing to send out notices to the settlement class, issues arose regarding the nature and scope of the settlement, specifically with respect to the universe of participants in the settlement class, which the parties were unable to resolve. Plaintiffs filed a motion to enforce compliance with the settlement agreement and the Company filed a cross motion to reform the stipulation of settlement, or in the alternative, to vacate the order of preliminary approval. A hearing before the court was held on this matter in July 2023. The court granted Plaintiff’s motion and directed the parties to proceed with the notice procedures to a class that includes a number of participants that the Company does not feel are appropriate to include. The court did not rule on the fairness of the settlement agreement between the parties and stated that this determination would be made at final approval and that the issues raised in the Company’s motion would be considered at that time. The Company requested an appeal of the ruling and a delay of the mailing of notice to settlement class members, but such request was denied. A final approval hearing date has been set for January 30, 2024. |

The Company's remaining foreign net operation loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2032. The net change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $(1.2) million and $(0.2) million for the years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our valuation allowances primarily relate to deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with current and historical losses as well as deferred tax assets which would generate capital losses and can only be realizable upon generation of future capital gains. As of October 31, 2023, the Company has released its previously recorded deferred tax liability of $1.5 million for withholding tax that it previously expected to be due upon future distribution of approximately $28.1 million of foreign earnings from its International Farming operations in Peru given that the accumulated earnings are now assumed to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company has determined all other accumulated foreign earnings of $156.1 million to be indefinitely reinvested, as it is our intent to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the cash to fund our U.S. operations. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position claimed on a tax return only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits (exclusive of interest and penalties) is as follows: October 31, (In millions) 2023 2022 Unrecognized tax benefits beginning of year $ 6.7 $ 6.1 Increases related to prior year positions 0.2 0.5 Foreign currency remeasurement 0.7 0.1 Unrecognized tax benefits end of year $ 7.6 $ 6.7 If recognized, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2023 and 2022 would impact the effective tax rate. There is potential for significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits by the end of fiscal year 2023 with regards to the 2013 tax assessment as discussed below. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company recorded $1.1 million, $0.6 million, and $0.9 million of interest and penalties in the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income and had $9.4 million and $8.3 million for interest and penalties accrued as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which have been included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We conduct business both domestically and internationally and, as a result, one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in U.S. federal, U.S. state and certain foreign jurisdictions. Accordingly, in the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities, primarily in the United States, Mexico and Peru. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for the fiscal years prior to and including October 31, 2019, nor is it subject to U.S. state income tax examinations for fiscal years prior to and including October 31, 2018. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations in Mexico for calendar years prior to and including December 31, 2017, except for the 2013 calendar year, which is under audit as discussed below. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations in Peru for calendar years prior to and including December 31, 2017. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico is currently under audit for the fiscal year 2013 and received certain proposed adjustments during fiscal year 2018 from the Mexican taxing authorities pertaining to disallowed deductions. During June 2018, the Company filed an administrative appeal challenging the 2013 tax assessment, which in June 2019 the authorities issued a resolution revoking the tax assessment and ordering the tax auditors to appraise some evidence and re-issue a new assessment in connection with one of the intermediaries. The Mexican subsidiary filed a tax lawsuit since the tax auditors did not appraise the evidence offered in connection with a significant portion of the disallowed deductions, which the Company is currently waiting for the resolution of the trial. The Company believes that is has adequately provided taxes for this matter. In March 2020, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico made an advance payment of income taxes related to disallowed deductions for tax years 2014-2017, which the Company paid but then immediately challenged in Court. At the time of payment and during the litigation the Company did not record an unrecognized tax benefit related to the deduction because we believed it was more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained. The case was lost in fiscal year 2023 and management decided not to appeal; accordingly, a $1.7 million charge was recognized in the provision for income taxes in fiscal year 2023. On December 30, 2020, Peru enacted tax law repealing current tax law which provided benefits to agribusiness entities. The new law subjects us to higher Peruvian corporate income tax rates than the rate in effect on the date of repeal of 15%, as follows: 20% for calendar years 2023 to 2024, 25% for calendar years 2025 to 2027, and 29.5% thereafter. We remeasured our deferred tax balances based on the applicable tax rate in the year the deferred balances are expected to reverse. The increase to the net deferred tax liability for the change in Peruvian tax rate resulted in a $5.4 million increase to tax expense during fiscal year 2021. In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”), which is an international public policy setting organization comprised of member countries including the U.S., published a proposal for the establishment of a global minimum tax rate of 15% (the “Pillar Two rule”). The OECD has recommended that the Pillar Two rule become effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2024, which is our fiscal 2025. To date, member states are in various stages of implementation and the OECD continues to refine technical guidance. We are closely monitoring developments of the Pillar Two rule and are currently evaluating the potential impact in each of the countries we operate in. |

The funds are measured at quoted prices in active markets, which is equivalent to their fair value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including the DCF method. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded, as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, that the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, the Company has determined that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”. The assets associated with the interest rate swaps have been included in prepaid and other current assets other assets |

These transactions are made under substantially similar terms as with other growers and customers. In November 2022, Moruga entered into a long-term land lease with a company owned by one of our directors. The rental rate in the lease was comparable to market rates and reflective of an arms-length transaction. The lease was accounted for as a finance lease right-of-use asset and is included in property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets, with amortization and interest expense recognized in cost of sales and interest expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The portion of lease costs attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of income taxes, was $0.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2023, and included as part of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. During fiscal 2023, we purchased 20 hectares of land in Peru from the same company owned by this same director for $0.2 million, which was comparable to market rates and reflective of an arms-length transaction. The Company had a consulting agreement with a director to advise on business operations, as well as to analyze opportunities for fresh avocado farming and packing facilities in South and Central America, that was terminated in June 2021. (2) The Company utilizes a small number of transportation vendors in Mexico having full or partial ownership by some of our employees. The Company also purchases avocados from a small number of entities having full or partial ownership by some employees. These transactions are made under substantially similar terms as with other transportation carriers and growers. (3) The Company has provided loans to Copaltas to support growth and expansion projects, bearing interest at 6.66%, which had an amended due date of August 31, 2022. The loans have been repaid in full as of October 31, 2022. (4) Effective May 1, 2022, Moruga was prospectively consolidated into the Company’s financial statements (refer to Note 3 for more details), at which time transactions between parties were prospectively eliminated in the consolidation of our financial statements. Transactions prior to consolidation are presented the same as in prior periods. The Company provides packing and cooling services for blueberries and leases owned land to Moruga. The Company has also provided loans to Moruga to support growth and expansion projects, bearing interest at 6.5%, due December 31, 2024. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment and Revenue Information We have three operating segments which are also reportable segments. Our reportable segments are presented based on how information is used by our CEO, who is the chief operating decision maker, to measure performance and allocate resources. After the consolidation of Moruga on May 1, 2022 (refer to Notes 2 and 3 for more information), the information used by the CEO changed to include the results of Moruga, and as such, we determined our reportable segments to be: • Marketing and Distribution . Our Marketing and Distribution reportable segment sources fruit from growers and then distributes the fruit through our global distribution network. • International Farming . International Farming owns and operates orchards from which the vast majority of fruit produced is sold to our Marketing and Distribution segment. The segment’s farming activities range from cultivating early-stage plantings to harvesting from mature trees. It also earns service revenues for packing and processing fruit for both our Blueberries segment, as well as for third-party producers of other crops. Operations are principally located in Peru, with smaller operations emerging in other areas of Latin America. • Blueberries. The Blueberries segment represents the results of Moruga, subsequent to its consolidation on May 1, 2022. Moruga’s farming activities include cultivating early-stage blueberry plantings and harvesting mature bushes. Substantially all blueberries produced are sold to a single distributor under an exclusive marketing agreement. The CEO evaluates and monitors segment performance primarily through segment sales and segment adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income (loss), before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, other income (expense), and income (loss) from equity method investees, further adjusted by asset impairment and disposals, net of insurance recoveries, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), certain noncash and nonrecurring ERP costs, transaction costs, material legal settlements, amortization of inventory adjustments recognized from business combinations, and any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as remeasurements or impairments, and any portion of these items attributable to the noncontrolling interest, all of which are excluded from the results the CEO reviews uses to assess segment performance and results. We believe that adjusted EBITDA by segment provides useful information for analyzing the underlying business results as well as allowing investors a means to evaluate the financial results of each reportable segment in relation to the Company as a whole. These measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures. Net sales from each of our reportable segments were as follows.

Basis of presentation and consolidation | Basis of presentation and consolidation |
Reclassifications | Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported balances in the consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current period presentation, including $1.0 million in loans from noncontrolling interest holders, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures, that were previously reported in other long-term liabilities. |
Consolidation of VIE | Consolidation of VIE On May 1, 2022, a reconsideration event (explained in Note 3) occurred related to Moruga S.A.C., an entity for which we have a 60% equity ownership interest. Moruga S.A.C. is a holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary Blueberries Peru, S.A.C. (collectively referred to as “Moruga”). Moruga was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting, where investments are stated at initial cost and adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. As a result of the reconsideration event, we concluded that Moruga is a VIE, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary with a controlling financial interest. Based on this conclusion, Moruga was prospectively consolidated on May 1, 2022. Refer to Note 8 for more information related to our VIE in Moruga. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less and money market mutual funds to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values. Restricted cash represents cash and cash equivalents that are restricted to withdrawal or use as of the reporting date under contractual terms or regulatory requirements. As of October 31, 2023 and 2022, the restricted cash balances related to statutory requirements to support various programs at the Company’s farms. Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. |
Trade accounts receivable, Grower and fruit advances, Other accounts receivable | Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are reported at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect its estimate of the uncollectability of the trade accounts receivable based on past collection history, the identification of specific potential customer risks, and other factors. Grower and fruit advances The Company makes advances to growers and foreign suppliers who supply fruit to the Company. Such advances reduce amounts otherwise due to the growers or suppliers for fruit sales. Other accounts receivable |
Inventory | Inventory Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method for finished goods and raw materials. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Crop growing costs are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are deferred and charged to cost of goods sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The deferred crop growing costs included in inventory consist primarily of orchard maintenance costs such as cultivation, irrigation, fertilization, soil amendments, pest control and pruning. We assess the recoverability of inventories through an ongoing review of inventory levels in relation to sales and forecasts and product marketing plans. When the inventory on hand, at the time of review, exceeds the foreseeable demand, the value of inventory that is not expected to be sold is written down. The amount of the write-down is the excess of historical cost over estimated net realizable value. Once established, these write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess inventory. The assessment of the recoverability of inventories and the amounts of any write-downs are based on currently available information and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Demand for avocados and other fruit may fluctuate significantly over time, and actual demand and market conditions may be more or less favorable than our projections. In the event that actual demand is lower than originally projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required. |
Property, plant and equipment, net | Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using rates based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Orchards, trees and bushes refer to avocado, mangos and blueberry plants, which accumulate planting and development costs that are capitalized into their basis until they become commercially productive, at which point the asset begins depreciating, and future maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. If proceeds are obtained from sales of fruit before commercial production begins, the net proceeds are applied to the capitalized cost of the trees. Planting costs consist primarily of the costs to purchase and plant nursery stock. Development costs consist of cultivation, pruning, irrigation, labor, spraying and fertilization, and interest costs during the development period. Leased assets and leasehold improvements meeting certain criteria are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the expected lease term or the useful life of the asset using the straight-line method. October 31, (In millions) Useful lives 2023 2022 Land $ 157.9 $ 141.4 Orchards/trees/bushes 7 to 25 years 129.1 102.0 Buildings and improvements 20 to 40 years 124.6 120.1 Equipment 3 to 20 years 235.8 201.1 Construction-in-progress 29.0 47.0 Property, plant and equipment $ 676.4 $ 611.6 Accumulated depreciation (153.2) (121.9) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 523.2 $ 489.7 Depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment, net was $31.3 million, $24.0 million, and $20.4 million for the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
Farming costs for nonproductive orchards | Farming costs for nonproductive orchards We lease land for the development of new orchards. During the development period, these costs are referred to as farming costs for nonproductive orchards and are expensed as incurred, and included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Interest accretion on finance lease liabilities is expensed as incurred and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. |
Leases | Leases We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified assets means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. For leases where we are the lessee, we recognize the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for all leases other than those with a term of 12 months or less, as we have elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are classified and recognized at the commencement date of a lease. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets consist of: (i) initial measurement of the lease liability; (ii) lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and (iii) initial direct costs incurred by us. Lease payments may vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement, including changes in inflation indices. Variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. For income statement purposes, we recognize straight-line rent expense for operating leases. For finance leases, we recognize interest expense associated with the lease liability and depreciation expense associated with the ROU asset. For ROU assets held under finance leases and leasehold improvements, the estimated useful lives are limited to the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Many of our lease arrangements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in the lease term unless we are reasonably certain to exercise it. We have lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. From a lessee perspective, we have elected to apply the practical expedient to combine lease and related non-lease components, for all classes of underlying assets, and account for the combined contract as a lease component. |
Equity method investees | Equity method investees We maintain investments in other fruit growers, packers and distributors. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence generally exists when we have an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. |
Long-lived assets | Long-lived assets |
Goodwill | Goodwill Our goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of business combinations over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill impairment testing requires significant judgment and management estimates, including, but not limited to, the determination of (i) the number of reporting units, (ii) the goodwill and other assets and liabilities to be allocated to the reporting units |
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value for the assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The framework has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices, other than those in Level 1, in markets that are not active or for similar assets and liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 or level 3 measurements during the years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. We believe that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximates fair value based on either their short-term nature or on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets. Due to current market rates, we believe that our long-term obligations have fair values that approximate carrying values. Refer to Note 14 for further information. |

Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition We recognize revenue according to the model under ASC 606, which requires the recognition of revenue when performance obligations to customers have been satisfied in amounts equal to the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. For our customer contracts, we identify the performance obligations (products or services), determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when the performance obligation is fulfilled, which is when the product is shipped to or received by the customer, depending on the specific terms of the arrangement. Our revenues are recorded at a point in time. Revenue recognized from product sales is based primarily on purchase orders issued by customers which specify shipping terms and details of the transaction. The performance obligations in a given transaction are determined by the individual purchase orders with revenue recognized at the time that the performance obligations have been satisfied. Shipping and handling activities that occur prior to the transfer of control of goods to the customer are treated as fulfillment activities related to the promise to transfer goods, rather than as performance obligations. Amounts collected from customers for sales and other similar taxes are excluded from the transaction price. Most performance obligations are subject to customer acceptance. However, our customers have an implicit and explicit right to return products following acceptance, if they are found not to conform to the specifications generally agreed upon or detailed in the individual purchase orders. We evaluate the need for provisions related to product return allowances based on estimates and record such provisions as a reduction in revenue in the same period that revenue for the related transactions is recognized. We routinely enter into consignment arrangements to purchase fruit from foreign suppliers in which we do not take legal title of the good prior to selling those goods to customers. The Company has evaluated its role in such transactions and has concluded that it has control of the products due to our ability to determine the sales price and our role as the primary obligor in the transactions with the end customer. As a result, we are deemed to act as the principal rather than the agent, and therefore recognize and report revenue on a gross basis for its consignment arrangements. |
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation The Company uses the fair value recognition method for accounting for stock-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition method, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. When vesting is based on both service and a performance condition, expense relative to such awards is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award, adjusted for the probably of achievement at the reporting date. Forfeitures are recognized in the period they occur. |

Employee benefits | Employee benefits We sponsor various defined contribution retirement plans for employees, the largest of which is the 401(k)-retirement plan in the U.S. Eligible employees can defer up to 60% of their compensation subject to fixed annual limits. Employees eligible for catch-up contributions may contribute additional contributions of their compensation subject to fixed annual limits. The Company makes a 100% matching contribution on deferrals up to 3%, and 50% on deferrals over 3% up to 5%. Contributions are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Total contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) plan were $1.0 million for the year ended October 31, 2023, and $0.9 million for both years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021. |
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as prescribed by ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates in the period during which they are signed into law. The factors used to assess the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented. Under ASC 740 a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the correct character. Failure to achieve previously forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could negatively impact the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest income or expense/penalties attributable to the overpayment or underpayment, respectively, of income taxes is recognized as an element of our provision for income taxes. As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed, and we will recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer applies. Conversely, we record additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. |

Earnings per share | Earnings per share We compute earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, which requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income attributable to us, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of contracts to issue shares (e.g., equity awards) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The computation of diluted EPS includes the estimated impact of the exercise of contracts to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method. Potential shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. |
Risk concentration | Risk concentration Accounts receivable from a single customer represented 16% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2023 and 13% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2022. Accounts receivable from two other customers each represented 8% and 6% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2023, respectively. These same two customers each represented 11% and 12% of trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2022, respectively. Sales to our top 10 customers amounted to approximately 65% of net sales for the year ended October 31, 2023 and 59% of net sales for both years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021. For the year ended October 31, 2023, one customer represented 18% of net sales. For the year ended October 31, 2022, one single customer represented 13% of net sales. For the year ended October 31, 2021, no single customer represented more than 10% of net sales. Net sales from our top 10 customers are concentrated in our Marketing and Distribution segment, with exception to sales generated by our Blueberries segment, for which substantially all sales are from a single customer with which we have an exclusive marketing agreement. |
Recently issued accounting standards | Recently issued accounting standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose significant segment expenses impacting profit and loss that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The update is required to be applied retrospectively to prior periods presented, based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405), which among other things, requires certain disclosures for a buyer in a supplier finance program. Some of the amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and others are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which among other things, requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of ASU 2022-02 is not expected to be material on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

These transactions are made under substantially similar terms as with other growers and customers. In November 2022, Moruga entered into a long-term land lease with a company owned by one of our directors. The rental rate in the lease was comparable to market rates and reflective of an arms-length transaction. The lease was accounted for as a finance lease right-of-use asset and is included in property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets, with amortization and interest expense recognized in cost of sales and interest expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The portion of lease costs attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of income taxes, was $0.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2023, and included as part of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. During fiscal 2023, we purchased 20 hectares of land in Peru from the same company owned by this same director for $0.2 million, which was comparable to market rates and reflective of an arms-length transaction. The Company had a consulting agreement with a director to advise on business operations, as well as to analyze opportunities for fresh avocado farming and packing facilities in South and Central America, that was terminated in June 2021. (2) The Company utilizes a small number of transportation vendors in Mexico having full or partial ownership by some of our employees. The Company also purchases avocados from a small number of entities having full or partial ownership by some employees. These transactions are made under substantially similar terms as with other transportation carriers and growers. (3) The Company has provided loans to Copaltas to support growth and expansion projects, bearing interest at 6.66%, which had an amended due date of August 31, 2022. The loans have been repaid in full as of October 31, 2022. (4) Effective May 1, 2022, Moruga was prospectively consolidated into the Company’s financial statements (refer to Note 3 for more details), at which time transactions between parties were prospectively eliminated in the consolidation of our financial statements. Transactions prior to consolidation are presented the same as in prior periods. The Company provides packing and cooling services for blueberries and leases owned land to Moruga. The Company has also provided loans to Moruga to support growth and expansion projects, bearing interest at 6.5%, due December 31, 2024. |
