J&C Tropicals is thrilled to celebrate 60 years of delivering fresh, high-quality exotic fruits, roots, and vegetables to consumers across the nation. More than just distributors, the company serves as tropical produce advisors—thinking like grocers, behaving like health-conscious consumers, and helping retailers maximize their fresh tropical produce offerings.
From its humble beginnings in 1965, as a family-owned business focused primarily on growing Boniato, the company now distributes over 70 exceptional tropical fruits, roots, and vegetables. Its offerings include mangos, avocados, guavas, rambutan, chayote, limes, yuca, ginger, boniato, plantains, dragon fruit and more.

"Our journey has been shaped by the dedication of our team, the trust of both our farming and retail partners, and the loyalty of our customers. We look forward to continuing to deliver tropical produce to the world while honoring our family values and commitment to excellence."
"Since our father founded the company in 1964, we have been a pioneer in the tropical produce industry, blending tradition with innovation to bring high-quality products from farms around the world to consumers' dinner tables," added Adrian Capote, VP of sales at J&C Tropicals.
