Why import plantains through Miami
Miami is the largest U.S. gateway for Central American and Andean plantain volume. Reefer transit times from origin packhouses to Miami run 5–10 days, keeping product green and on grade for ripening programs across the country.
Programs we run
Weekly standing pallet programs, full container loads (FCL), mixed pallets with yuca and malanga, and contracted ripening-window deliveries to grocery DCs.
Quality and compliance
Every container is inspected on arrival. PACA-licensed, FSMA-compliant cold chain from origin packhouse through outbound reefer trucks.
