Bekah McMurrain joins IMG Citrus as Citrus Business Developer, strengthening the company’s year-round citrus supply strategy and regional growth initiatives.
Florida-based IMG Citrus has made a significant move to enhance its operations in the Southeast U.S. market by welcoming Bekah McMurrain to its team as the new Citrus Business Developer. The company, renowned for its integrated approach to fresh citrus production, is focused on strengthening its strategic growth in the region while continuing to provide top-quality products to retailers.
McMurrain, who brings nearly a decade of experience in the agricultural sector and a strong background in citrus, produce, protein, and dairy, will play a key role in expanding established programs and driving new initiatives. Her expertise aligns with IMG Citrus’ mission to maintain its position as a year-round supplier, offering tailored solutions for citrus supply across the Southeast. “I am thrilled to return to the citrus industry and join the incredible team at IMG Citrus. This opportunity to contribute to a field I am passionate about, alongside such a forward-thinking company, is truly exciting. I look forward to what we can achieve together,” McMurrain stated.
Central to IMG Citrus’ strategy is its state-of-the-art Sweet Sixty facility, a 185,000 square foot cold storage and packaging hub located near key transportation routes in Florida. This facility is designed to support the company’s integrated supply chain, allowing them to deliver fresh citrus throughout the year. The facility features advanced refrigeration technology, 20 dock doors, and over 3,000 pallet positions, offering significant capacity for current operations and future expansion. Positioned just a few hours north of Port Everglades and the Port of Miami, Sweet Sixty is ideally situated to streamline logistics and distribution across the region.
IMG Citrus has long been dedicated to cultivating long-term partnerships with both growers and retailers, ensuring that the highest quality citrus reaches its customers.
According to a recent Produce BlueBook report, the company’s evolution into a year-round supplier is driven by careful selection of seasonal citrus, efficient logistics consolidation, and the development of customized retailer solutions. The introduction of McMurrain into the company’s leadership reflects this ongoing commitment to growth and innovation.
The addition of McMurrain is not only a strategic move but also reinforces IMG Citrus’ broader goals of meeting the dynamic needs of the Southeast U.S. market. As the company continues to grow, it remains dedicated to sustainable and responsible farming practices, integrating new technologies and production methods to ensure both high-quality produce and environmental stewardship. IMG Citrus’ ability to balance innovation with tradition positions it as a leader in the citrus industry, particularly as it seeks to further solidify its presence in key markets.
Based in Vero Beach, Florida, IMG Citrus grows, packs, and ships fresh citrus to a wide range of customers, including retailers, wholesalers, and exporters both domestically and internationally. The company’s ability to develop citrus import programs alongside strategic partners allows them to provide consistent, year-round citrus solutions to Southeast retailers.
