We begin planting in
June and finish in December. The broccoli harvest begins in August and
continues to the end of April. From November until March the quality
of the broccoli is at its highest. Once the vegetable is ready for harvest,
it is packed and checked by professional quality control personnel.
Western Pacific Produce's field transport infrastructure is designed
so that there is a minimum amount of time between harvesting and cooling.
Once the product is cooled it is shipped immediately to the storage
facilities for distribution. We have several cooling facilities in Mexico.
In the United States we ship from our storage facilities in McAllen
Texas, and in Nogales, Arizona.
