Why buyers source Ecuadorian plantains
Ecuador is the largest plantain-exporting origin in Latin America and the most consistent supplier of high-volume FCL programs into the United States. Coast Master Imports works with vetted Ecuadorian export packhouses that grade to U.S. supermarket specs, deliver firm green fruit with full latex set, and run repeatable shipping schedules every week of the year.
- Year-round availability — no seasonal gaps
- Uniform finger length and count by carton
- Strong shelf life from firm green arrival
- FOB Miami or delivered pricing on request
Container-direct from Guayaquil to the Port of Miami
Ecuadorian plantain containers leave Guayaquil under reefer control and discharge directly at the Port of Miami, where Coast Master Imports receives, inspects, and stages every load. Pulp temperatures are logged on arrival and the cold chain stays unbroken from origin packhouse to outbound truck.
Who we supply
Supermarket chains, Latin and Caribbean markets, tropical produce distributors, wholesalers, broadline foodservice, and restaurant groups across the Southeast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Texas. Standing weekly programs and one-off FCL drops both available.
