Hearing about how Dole used gangs down in South America to enforce their “growing” operations and other controversies related to the brand would be terrific for this page. Wiscipidier (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

This was discussed above in 2022, but there were no reliable sources within the recent past to support any change to the article. Zefr (talk) 20:38, 7 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I strongly believe that this article needs a separate Criticism and Controversies section, to aid readers in quickly navigating to, and reading about the company's negative practices. By "hiding" it in the history of the company under the guise of comprehensiveness, I think we have muddied the accessibility of key information. Additionally, I find the lack of thorough research / writing of this article a little surprising. For example, a similar section in a competing brand's page clearly mentions Dole, but somehow is not a section in this article.

You would need to propose wording for the evidence of "negative practices" with WP:RS source(s) for other editors to review and discuss per WP:CON. Zefr (talk) 03:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

How is there no mention of Dole‘s work with the Contras against the Sadinist government?

Is Barricada International (specifically from the 8th of November 1982, page 12) counted as a untrustworthy source? ~2025-38095-58 (talk) 23:30, 2 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
