SiCar Farms, a family-owned business with more than 35 years of growing, packing and distributing its fresh products, has recently acquired 4,000 acres and is building a packing house/facility in the southeast region of Mexico. With this addition, the (Gudino Ochoa) GO Group has secured land in all the main production zones of Mexico.
This investment will help meet consumer demand year-round and specifically during the winter season. In this project, 40 percent of the land purchased will be preserved as a natural preservation area. “Greater control of growing, logistics and cold chain enables us to yield quality assurance and uphold long-term relationships and demand of our customers,” says Daniel Gudino, CEO of SiCar Farms/Mexico.

“We have consistently focused on innovation, diversification and sustainability. We are growers, packers and distributors and we have the proficiency to deliver a quality product with quality standards,” says Luis Gudino, CEO of SiCar Farms/US. “With this new packing house, we will be able to process more than 120 tons a day of our main commodity, Persian limes. This will also strengthen our supply chain and packing capacity.”
Meanwhile, Citrojugo is part of the Oil and Juice Division of GO Group. "We have increased our production capacity by 35 percent with some recent technology advances in our production lines,” says Sigifredo Gudino, CEO of Citrojugo. “We will start trials with some other citrus fruits such as grapefruit, tangerines and oranges by the end of this year. This empowers us to increase our portfolio in the Juices and Oil Division."
SiCar Farms has recently acquired 4,000 acres and is building a packing house/facility in the southeast region of Mexico.
SiCar Farms will be at the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral Show in Orlando, Florida October 27-29th. It will exhibit within the Mexican Pavilion at Booth #1351. “Our team will be available to talk with buyers about our fresh products and processed juices, product lines, year-round availability as well as creating opportunities and programs of partnering to supply North American consumers,” says Gudino.
