Caimito Fruits Europe S.L, a new fruit distribution company incorporated by Panama-based pineapple farm Caimito Fruits Panama, is set to make history by becoming the first European fruit distribution company owned and operated by a local fruit producer from Panama. The company has officially opened its offices in Madrid, Spain, and is preparing to receive its first container of pineapples at the Algeciras Port, where the first shipment of sustainably-grown pineapples from Panama is arriving in Spain via its subsidiary, Caimito Fruits Europe. The shipment is expected to reach by the end of May 2023.
Caimito Fruits Europe is founded by Rolando Sanchez, Donald Ewert, and James Gooden. Since its establishment in 2018, Caimito Fruits Panama has successfully shipped its pineapples to niche markets all over Europe via air and sea. With its newly opened offices in Madrid, Caimito Fruits Europe will serve as the distribution subsidiary of the parent company. It will focus on providing high-quality pineapples, as well as other exotic fruit from Panama, to retailers all around Europe. The company's team comprises Panamanian, European, and American talent with vast experience in Europe's import, sales, and distribution business.
James Gooden, Co-founder of Caimito Fruits, emphasized the company's vision of entering the market with pineapple and opening the door for other farms to export their exotic fruits grown in Panama. He stated, "All the support from the Panama Government`s ProPanama Agency has been instrumental in helping us establish Caimito Fruits Europe and bring our high-quality pineapples to the European market."
Speaking to the media, the Co-founder and Regional Sales Manager of Caimito Fruits Europe S.L Rolando Sanchez said, "I am extremely happy and proud of being a key part of something bigger than just Caimito Fruits. It is a win for all of Panama."
Since its inception, Caimito Fruits Panama has been committed to helping the community and the environment. The company holds the Global Gap Certification, a strict international audit for good practices, ensuring a quality product with extremely high export standards. The government agency ProPanama has played a significant role in supporting Caimito Fruits Europe from the beginning, from hosting a booth at the fruit show to assisting with strategic planning.
