Food and Agriculture Freight to and from Mexico

USDA/FDA Compliance, Reefer Containers, Cold Chain

Mexico feeds America. It’s not hyperbole — Mexico is the United States’ single largest food supplier, responsible for a growing share of the fresh produce, packaged foods, beverages, and agricultural products on US store shelves and restaurant tables. Avocados from Michoacán, tomatoes from Sinaloa, berries from Baja California, craft beer from Monterrey, tequila from Jalisco — the Mexico-to-US food trade lane is one of the most complex, time-sensitive, and volume-intensive corridors in global freight.

Cargo Mexico handles food and agricultural freight with the urgency, compliance expertise, and temperature control that perishable supply chains demand.
