The concept was to supply customers with off-season products in Americas, but the business soon expanded to global supply as well. Indeed the company now trades in North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.

Fresh fruits and vegetables accounts for 90% of the business. With offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Jersey, San Paulo, Brazil, Carbamericas employs 13 people excluding 4 persons in the sales department.

Carbamericas buys, sells, markets, food items but does not have its own lines of products yet. Pertaining to logistics, the chilled and frozen importer deals with airlines, shipping companies and trucking companies.

The importer has recently started to ship organic green asparagus from Mexico.

In 2016 Carbamericas launched its new facility in Irapuato in Mexico along with CarGoldMex a grower.

The company has partnered with these broccoli growers in Florida and this partnership ensures that the vegetables reach customers’ warehouse within a timespan of 24-48 hours following harvesting.
