Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Revolving Credit Facilities	6. Revolving Credit Facilities In June 2016, we entered into a new Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) as administrative agent and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. as joint lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and Farm Credit West (“FCW”), as joint lead arranger. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $80 million syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on June 14, 2021 (the”Credit Facility”), which replaces the Company’s prior revolving credit facilities, which were scheduled to expire on July 1, 2016. Provided there exists no default, upon notice to Bank of America, the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Credit Facility by an amount not exceeding $50 million (the “Accordion”). Any future exercises of the Accordion would require additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be at the Company’s discretion either at a Eurodollar Rate (“LIBOR”) loan plus applicable margin or a base rate loan plus applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and can range from 1.00% to 1.50% for LIBOR loans and 0.00% to 0.50% for Base Rate Loans. The Credit Facility also includes a commitment fee on the unused commitment amount at a rate per annum of 0.15%. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for agreements of this type, including the following financial covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis: (a) a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (b) a quarterly consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all such covenants at October 31, 2017. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, Bank of America may take the following actions: (a) declare the commitment of each lender to make loans and any obligation of the Issuer to make credit extensions to be terminated; (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, all interest, and all other amounts to be immediately due and payable; (c) require that Calavo cash collateralize the obligations; and (d) exercise on behalf of itself, the lenders and the Issuer all rights and remedies available to it.
