What does the three digit code on the Dole Organic Bananas stand for?

A- These three digits are called Dole Producer Code (DPC). The DPC identifies an organic producer or a group of small organic producers. By the use of the DPC on the fruit’s sticker, the bananas can be identified at the retail store even when they are taken out of the carton box. By entering the three digit code in the doleorganic.com website, the origin of the fruit can be obtained. There is a page for each organic producer or group of small organic producers, with pictures, general information and a link to access the satellite image of the farm with the use of Google Maps. The organic certificates of each operation are also posted.
