Exhibit 99.2

October 27, 2014

Dear Chiquita Employees,

Following this morning’s announcement, the Cutrale and Safra Groups wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the enthusiasm both groups have for Chiquita and about this combination. Cutrale and Safra are pleased to have the opportunity to make this long-term investment and are particularly excited by the impressive brand loyalty and recognition the company has through its Chiquita and Fresh Express brands. We believe they provide Chiquita with a strong competitive edge in the growing worldwide demand for high-quality fresh fruits and salads.

Together with you, we share a clear objective: Chiquita’s long term success. Cutrale-Safra is committed to Chiquita continuing to grow the strength of its brands. We believe the Chiquita platform is a very special one, with extensive production and global distribution that is second to none in the fresh produce sector, and the capabilities necessary to grow its business and benefit its stakeholders, including employees, business partners, customers, distributors and suppliers. To support Chiquita as the premier and most sustainable platform in its sector, Chiquita will be able after the closing of the transaction to access Cutrale-Safra's substantial experience in all aspects of the fruit and juice value chain and extensive financial expertise.

All of you should be tremendously proud of your contributions to Chiquita’s position in the fresh produce industry. The caliber of the talent at Chiquita and its Fresh Express brand is one of the many things that attracted the Cutrale and Safra Groups to invest in Chiquita, and we are excited to be part of your success going forward.
