Item 4.  Description of Securities.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands does not set out any specific restrictions on the ability of a company to indemnify officers and directors. However, there is Cayman Islands case law which would indicate that indemnification may be permissible for the directors and officers own negligence and breach of duty but not where there is evidence of dishonesty, fraud or willful default by a director or officer of the company.
 
Article 112 (the “Regulation”) of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association provides substantially as follows:
 

2




(a)
Every Director (including, for the purposes of this Article any Alternate Director appointed pursuant to the provisions of these Articles), and any former Director or officer (solely with respect to such former Director’s or officer’s term as such) and every Managing Director, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or other officer or agent, for the time being and from time to time of the Company and the personal representatives of the same and any individuals who, while a director or officer of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner or trustee of (i) another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity which is a subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) a trust or employee benefit plan associated with the business of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets and funds of the Company from and against any claim or liability and all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by him in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions (including any claim or liability to which such person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his status as a present or former Director or officer of the Company), including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses, or liabilities incurred by him in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. The Company shall further have the power, with the approval of the Board of Directors, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Company.
 
 
 (b)
No such Director, Alternate Director, Managing Director, agent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary or other officer of the Company shall be liable (i) for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other such Director, Alternate Director, Managing Director, agent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary or other officer of the Company or (ii) by reason of his having joined in any receipt for money not received by him personally or (iii) for any loss on account of defect of title to any property of the Company or (iv) on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any money of the Company shall be invested or (v) for any loss incurred through any bank, broker or other agent or (vi) for any loss occasioned by any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, error of judgment or oversight on his part or (vii) for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities or discretions of his office or in relation thereto, unless the same shall happen through his own dishonesty.
 
 
 
 
(c)
Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Regulation, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company inconsistent with this Regulation, shall apply to affect in any respect the applicability of this Regulation with respect to any act, or circumstance or condition, or failure to act, which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.
 
 
The Registrant also carries liability insurance covering officers and directors.
 
Pursuant to the Plan the Registrant has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers of the Registrant for action of such directors and officers relating to the Plan, in certain circumstances.
 
Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.
 
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 
i.
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
ii.
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;
 
iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
 
provided, however, that clauses i and ii of paragraph (1) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the

4




Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc.
c/o Del Monte Fresh Produce Company

Dear Sirs,

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (the "Company")

We have been asked to provide this legal opinion to you with regard to the laws of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the " Registration Statement ") to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the United States of America Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the offer of 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company of a par value of US$0.01 per share (the " Shares ") pursuant to the Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. 2014 Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the " Plan ").

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or translations of the documents listed in Schedule 1.

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.

We are Cayman Islands Attorneys at Law and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction.

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant and subject to the



WALKERS         
Page 2    





qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we are of the opinion that, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, subject to payment in full being received by the Company, the Shares have been duly authorized to be issued from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and will be issued and fully paid when an entry in respect of such Shares in the name of the registered owners thereof has been made in the register of members of the Company (pursuant to sections 38 and 48 of the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the " Companies Law ")) confirming that they are fully paid pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company approving the issuance of such Shares. Section 38 of the Companies Law provides, inter alia , that every "…person who has agreed to become a member of a company and whose name is entered on the register of members, shall be deemed to be a member of the company.". Section 48 of the Companies Law provides that "The register of members shall be prima facie evidence of any matters by this Law directed or authorized to be inserted therein.".

Based solely upon our examination of the Court Register (as defined in Schedule 1) we confirm that at the Search Time (as defined in Schedule 1) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against the Company before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the " Grand Court ") and no steps have been, or are being, taken compulsorily to wind up the Company.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit, the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent. This opinion is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Yours faithfully,
/s/ Walkers
