International fresh produce trading, sourcing and consulting
We match growers and exporters with importers and retailers, structure the programs between them, and advise companies entering new markets and categories.
Frutta Group works with both ends of the fresh produce trade. Start with the one that describes you.
“I’m buying fruit”
Reliable supply from the right origin in the right window. We find and qualify suppliers, structure the program and follow every shipment to arrival.

“I’m selling fruit”
New buyers and markets for your fruit. Depending on the program, we buy your fruit or act as your commercial arm — agreed upfront, with transparent terms.

“I need expert advice”
Fresh produce expertise without building an in-house team: market research, market entry, import/export structure and strategic advice.

Rather than a fixed portfolio, we move with the market — sourcing what our clients need, when they need it, from the origins that perform best.
Not a directory of contacts: we stay involved from the first requirement to a recurring program.
Your product, market and commercial requirements.
The counterparts that actually fit.
Introductions and clear commercial terms.
From the first shipment to a recurring program.

Practical notes on sourcing, market access and international produce trade.
Import & export
Admissibility, phytosanitary certificates, FDA prior notice, FSVP, PACA and marketing orders: the checkpoints every fresh fruit shipment into the US has to clear.
Sourcing
A reliable supplier is one whose fruit, timing and paperwork match your program season after season. Here is how to find one — and how to check before you commit.
Retail
Seasonality, shelf life, specification, certification and program structure: what retail buyers weigh when they source fruit from abroad.
Frutta Group is an international fresh produce trading, sourcing and commercial consulting company. We connect growers, exporters and packers with importers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors, manage commercial programs between them, and offer consulting on sourcing, market research, market entry, commercial representation and import/export.
All three roles are part of how we work. We can act as commercial intermediary, trade fruit as principal buying at origin and selling to the destination customer, or deliver a defined consulting project. The structure is agreed with each partner at the start.
Depending on the program, we either buy your fruit or represent it as your commercial arm in selected markets. Before the season we agree the markets, specification, pricing basis (fixed price, minimum guarantee or consignment), Incoterms and payment terms. During the season we control the document flow and follow up payments and collections, so you always know where your fruit and your money are.
We manage import and export programs for the United States and Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom, the Middle East, India and Latin America (including Guatemala and Venezuela). We source from growers and exporters in Spain, Poland, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Argentina.
Tell us what you are looking for — product, origin, market and volume — and we will tell you plainly whether and how we can help.
