Established in 1993, we established ourselves in the produce industry by exporting wild mushrooms, cherries, kabocha, apples and citrus to Japan and Taiwan. We have been exporting to Japan since that time.
When Michoacan avocado producers were granted access to the USA market, we teamed up with the first packing houses as the market opened in the Midwest, Texas, and finally California between 2002-2005.
We have earned a strong reputation and we now import from 10 packing houses/growers. We enjoy wonderful relationships with our friends there and we are able to source whatever volume necessary in order to grow our customer base.
