Colombian fruit and vegetable exporter seeks new partnerships around the world

Since its founding in 2013 in Bogota, Colombia, LFC Food has quickly emerged as a major player in the fruit and vegetable export sector. With strategic offices in Miami and robust trade agreements with suppliers in Peru, Dominican Republic and Ecuador, the company is dedicated to delivering fresh, high quality produce globally.

 

LFC Food is committed to delivering fresh and tasty fruits and vegetables, ensuring customer satisfaction and promoting healthy lifestyles. Its vision is to become a benchmark for quality and reliability in the global fresh produce market, continually expanding its reach and setting new standards in the industry. In addition, the company innovates with products such as juices and pulps enriched with micronutrients and bioactive compounds, offering additional health benefits to its customers. LFC Food projects itself as an environmentally and financially sustainable company in the long term.

 

LFC Food exports and markets fruits in various presentations: fresh, frozen, pulp, jam and freeze-dried. Its team of nutritionists, food engineers and agronomists works to ensure the highest quality and safety of the products.

In addition, the company is socially responsible, supporting sports projects with every sale of fruit.

Originally focused on sports, LFC Food has expanded its operations into international business, recognising the ability of sport to bring people together and build trust in global commerce. This approach has enabled the company to develop fundraising strategies to support sport in communities.

 

 

Crop projection

LFC Food has a steady year-round production of passion fruit and mangosteen from Colombia and Peru, with the capacity to supply one to three tonnes per week. For avocado, the company can supply a container every 15 days from Colombia (May to November) and Peru (January to June). In addition, they offer Cavendish bananas, tahiti lime, passion fruit, lulo, and more, including a new line of juice concentrates.

 

 

Growing practices and packaging strategies

LFC Food establishes agreements with suppliers that ensure the quantity of product required, offering training to improve quality. They use good agricultural practices and customised packaging according to the client's request, adapting the boxes to different sizes depending on the product.

The company distributes its products nationally in school feeding programmes and internationally in markets such as Canada, Spain and England. For the coming season, LFC Food plans to participate in Fruit Attraction and to carry out marketing visits in Spain and France from October 2024.

 

 

Challenges and the future

Climate change represents a significant challenge, affecting production and prices. However, LFC Food is constantly evolving, adopting new technologies to improve its processes and products, in order to stay at the forefront of the industry and expand its presence in the global market.

 

Thanks to its extensive network of suppliers and strategic location, LFC Food is able to offer a wide range of fruit and vegetables all year round, bringing the best of South American produce to tables all over the world.
