Chiquita Brands International says it will relocate its West Coast port operations from Long Beach, Calif., to the Port of Hueneme in Ventura County north of Los Angeles. The Cincinnati-based foods producer says its weekly vessel service from Guatemala, including bananas and other fresh produce, should start Nov. 1.

Chiquita cited cost efficiencies as the reason for the moves.
