Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments We have agreements to purchase the entire or partial production of certain products of our independent growers primarily in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Philippines, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia that meet our quality standards. Total purchases under these agreements amounted to $691.8 million for 2019, $763.9 million for 2018 and $815.0 million for 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2019, our Mann Packing business voluntarily recalled a series of vegetable products sold to select customers in the United States and Canada primarily in our fresh and value-added products segment. The voluntary recall had a negative effect on net sales, primarily of fresh-cut vegetables, and also resulted in approximately $6.0 million of customer claims and customer-related charges during the fourth quarter of 2019 which are included in net sales. We also incurred $4.4 million in inventory write-offs which are presented in cost of products sold in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. 16. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) In addition, during 2017 and 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement for the building of six new refrigerated container ships for $126.5 million to be delivered in 2020. The agreement requires payments of approximately $85.2 million in 2020 and $41.3 million in 2021 for these six ships. Refer to Note 10. "Leases", for further discussion on lease commitments. Litigation Kunia Well Site In 1980, elevated levels of certain chemicals were detected in the soil and ground-water at a plantation leased by one of our U.S. subsidiaries in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Kunia Well Site”). Shortly thereafter, our subsidiary discontinued the use of the Kunia Well Site and provided an alternate water source to area well users and the subsidiary commenced its own voluntary cleanup operation. In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) identified the Kunia Well Site for potential listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended. On December 16, 1994, the EPA issued a final rule adding the Kunia Well Site to the NPL. On September 28, 1995, our subsidiary entered into an order (the “Order”) with the EPA to conduct the remedial investigation and the feasibility study of the Kunia Well Site. Under the terms of the Order, our subsidiary submitted a remedial investigation report in November 1998 and a final draft feasibility study in December 1999 (which was updated from time to time) for review by the EPA. The EPA approved the remedial investigation report in February 1999 and the feasibility study on April 22, 2003. As a result of communications with the EPA in 2001, we recorded a charge of $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 to increase the recorded liability to the estimated expected future cleanup cost for the Kunia Well Site to $19.1 million. Based on conversations with the EPA in the third quarter of 2002 and consultation with our legal counsel and other experts, we recorded a charge of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2002 to increase the accrual for the expected future clean-up costs for the Kunia Well Site to $26.1 million. On September 25, 2003, the EPA issued the Record of Decision (“ROD”). The EPA estimates in the ROD that the remediation costs associated with the cleanup of the Kunia Well Site will range from $12.9 million to $25.4 million and will last approximately 10 years. It remains to be determined how long the remediation will actually last. On January 13, 2004, the EPA deleted a portion of the Kunia Well Site (Northeast section) from the NPL. On May 2, 2005, our subsidiary signed a Consent Decree with the EPA for the performance of the clean-up work for the Kunia Well Site. On September 27, 2005, the U.S. District Court for Hawaii approved and entered the Consent Decree. Based on findings from remedial investigations at the Kunia Well Site, our subsidiary continues to evaluate with the EPA the clean-up work currently in progress in accordance with the Consent Decree. We increased the liability by $0.4 million during 2017 and 2016 due to changes to the remediation work being performed related to the Kunia Well Site clean-up. We included these charges/(credits) in asset impairment and other charges, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimates are between $13.3 million and $28.7 million. The estimate on which our accrual is based, totals $13.3 million. As of December 27, 2019, there is $13.0 million included in other noncurrent liabilities and $0.3 million included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Kunia Well Site clean-up, which we expect to expend in the next 12 months. We expect to expend approximately $0.4 million in 2020, $1.1 million in 2021 and $0.9 million in each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. 16. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) Business Litigation On March 14, 2019, we settled a business transaction litigation matter for $17.0 million in our favor. The settlement resulted in a gain of approximately $16.0 million, net of $1.0 million related to other miscellaneous expenses and is included in other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additional Information In addition to the foregoing, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or our cash flows. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in all of the above matters.
