A strategic partnership marking six years of successful collaboration and opening a new chapter in the development of both companies in the French market.
Rungis, October 2026
Miles Import is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Fyffes, a leading international player in the tropical fruit industry. Effective January 1, 2027, the French company will become the exclusive distributor of Fyffes products in France, taking on responsibility for developing the Fyffes banana business across the country.
This announcement marks a major milestone in the history of Miles Import, strengthening a commercial relationship established in 2020 and built around a shared ambition: to supply the French market with high-quality fruit, supported by reliable sourcing and long-term partnerships.
Over 30 Years of Expertise and Growth
Founded in 1994 by Guy Lesvenan, Miles Import has built its success on an in-depth understanding of the fresh produce market and longstanding expertise in citrus fruits and grapes.
In the 2010s, the company reached a new milestone by expanding into air-freighted mangoes, demonstrating its ability to identify new opportunities and respond to the evolving needs of the French market.
Since 2020, Miles Import has continued this momentum by developing the Fyffes brand across the French retail, foodservice and food processing sectors.
Built progressively over the years, this collaboration is founded on shared commitments to product quality, traceability, transparency and the development of lasting business relationships.
A New Ambition for Fyffes Bananas and Pineapples
Through this exclusive distribution agreement, Miles Import further strengthens its position as Fyffes’ trusted partner in France.
Having already played a key role in developing the Fyffes pineapple business, the company will now expand its responsibilities to include the distribution and development of Fyffes bananas.
This partnership brings together two complementary areas of expertise: Fyffes’ international know-how in tropical fruit production and sourcing, and Miles Import’s extensive knowledge of the French market, supported by its established commercial network and logistics capabilities.
Together, the two companies aim to strengthen the presence of Fyffes products in France while providing professional customers with solutions tailored to their needs.
Six Years of Trust, One Shared Vision
For Guy Lesvenan, founder and CEO of Miles Import, this agreement represents a particularly significant milestone in the company’s journey.
"Today, I am particularly proud to announce that Miles Import is becoming the exclusive distributor of Fyffes products in France and will now take responsibility for developing the Fyffes banana business. This new milestone is the culmination of six years of mutual trust and reflects our shared ambition for the French market."
Beyond its commercial significance, this partnership reflects the trust established between the two companies and their shared commitment to continued growth based on quality, strong relationships and long-term reliability.
A New Chapter for Miles Import

This partnership with Fyffes is a natural continuation of that journey: a new phase of growth, built on a shared history and a common ambition for the future.
