Contiguous Reach

From the Pharr bridge to the southern Andes — one accountable corridor.

The network is contiguous. A buyer can move avocado from Michoacán in October, transition to Peruvian Hass in November, hand off to Chilean stone fruit in December, and close the loop with Brazilian mango in January — all under one PO system, one set of entry documents, and one bilingual account team.

Procurement Q&A · No. 01

How long from PO to dock — and in what pack?

The short answer: 4 to 9 days door-to-door for Mexican origin, 6 to 12 days for Central American and Caribbean corridors, and 8 to 14 days for South American corridors — measured from confirmed PO to Pharr cross-dock or delivered to your DC. Pack style is dictated by your receiving equipment, not by us.

Transit corridors at a glance

  • Mexico → Pharr. 1–2 days overland, refrigerated trailer. Most programs move weekly.
  • Guatemala / Honduras / Costa Rica → Pharr. 3–6 days mixed (reefer truck + short sea via Santo Tomás).
  • Colombia / Ecuador → Pharr. 7–10 days reefer container via Buenaventura or Guayaquil.
  • Peru / Chile → Pharr. 10–14 days reefer container via Callao or Valparaíso.
  • Brazil / Argentina / Uruguay → Pharr. 12–16 days reefer container via Santos or Buenos Aires.

Primary pack styles we ship

Cartons (4.5 kg / 10 lb / 25 lb counts by commodity), RPCs on request for retail-ready programs, 18 kg palox bins for asparagus and stone fruit, and 360 kg bulk bins for frozen puree. Pallet configuration is standard 40" × 48" GMA, 48 cartons per pallet for most produce lines, 20 palox per reefer for asparagus and grape programs.

Terms

FOB origin is standard on South American corridors; delivered Pharr is standard on Mexico and Central America. Customs brokerage, USDA-APHIS cold-treatment documentation, and FDA prior notice are included on every shipment — no separate line item, no third-party hand-off.
