WhatsApp: Q&A — Carl Engel

Carl What are your thoughts on the deck?

I think his email is still busted

Did that fix work carl?

sent

HEB questions too

LAX you need a special tray because it’s a specific stack, 720 per PMC

Need to identify this tray

lbs ?

1 kilo is 2.2lbs freight is kg is our common denominator Mate Can use use until the final documents are produced

Any thoughts on the deck?

Or HEB progress?

The season is upon us The supplier needs to be informed with an actual plan

We don’t have organic produce for the USA

Do you mean export to Mexico Or to use the Cantalini Family as a distribution channel in to the USA

Just spoke to Carl he means the later

And possibly landing in Mexico and crossing the border

Need to look at Micor

The web site is a good read.

Looks like they import:

"While we rely on growers worldwide..."

Yes

mangoes can't be exported from aus to mex

so carl, the opportunity with Catalani would be the same as HEB - sell direct.

It's a more traditional pathway for a wholesale exporter to sell to a wholesale importer. We deal with the grower and the outbound freight, they deal with the customer(s) and the inbound freight.

US is the largest importer of mangoes - 98% come from latinx countries, so there is an opportunity

If they don’t do the importing themselves They may well give you leads on Companies that do that and that distribute in the US markets

Zero fresh produce can go from Aus to Mex: https://micor.agriculture.gov.au/plants/mexico_mx

This website shows all importing country allowances, requirements and restrictions
