International Fruit Genetics (IFG) is a private Bakersfield, California-based fruit breeding company that licenses patented breeds of fruit to growers worldwide. The largest breeder of table grapes has licensed one type of this fruit to Bakersfield-based grower Grapery, Cotton Candy.
In August 2023, it was announced that a consortium led by AMFresh had completed the purchase of the company. Subsequently, EQT Future and Paine Schwartz Partners became minority partners in Bloom Fresh International, a new entity created when SNFL Group and IFG merged.
