More Than Produce

A Smarter Way to Supply

At Latin Specialties, we offer more than just produce — we deliver smart, customized solutions built around your business. As vertically aligned growers, ripeners, processors, and distributors, we control the entire supply chain from our farms to your facility. That means fresher product, increased traceability, lower costs, and better results for your retail, foodservice, or institutional programs. We’re not just a supplier — we’re your end-to-end produce partner.

Tailored programs,

consisten results.

At Latin Specialties, we build customized, year-round programs tailored to the exact needs of your business — whether you’re a national retailer, a foodservice distributor, or a wholesale buyer. These aren’t off-the-shelf solutions — they’re designed to deliver what your customers want while keeping your margins healthy. With a strong focus on food safety, traceability, consistent supply, competitive pricing, and full, on-time deliveries, we serve as true partners in helping you operate efficiently, meet demand, and grow profitably.

More Than a Vendor

A Partner in Growing Your Multicultural Category

We know multicultural produce because we live it — it’s our heritage and our business. With decades of experience growing, sourcing, and distributing specialty fruits and vegetables, we understand what sells, who it sells to, and how to merchandise it. We go beyond supply by acting as an extension of your team — advising on product selection, cultural relevance, merchandising strategies, and promotional planning to help you connect with diverse consumers and grow category sales. From tailored formats to bilingual packaging and in-store execution, we’re here to help you move product and build lasting loyalty.

Un solo producto
Muchas presentaciones

Frescos, frescos cortados, ultracongelados (IQF), de larga vida en anaquel.

Desde nuestra sede en Houston, Texas, hemos consolidado dos objetivos clave: minimizar el desperdicio de alimentos y ofrecer a tu negocio soluciones en productos frescos con la mejor relación costo-beneficio. Esto ha dado origen a nuestro principio rector: un solo producto, múltiples presentaciones. La idea es aprovechar cada parte del cultivo, transformando aquellas porciones que no cumplen con los estándares del comercio minorista en productos de valor agregado que aumentan la rentabilidad a lo largo de toda la cadena de suministro. Ya sea en presentación entera, cortada, congelada, en puré o deshidratada, logramos esto gracias a un estricto cumplimiento de las normas de inocuidad alimentaria, abastecimiento responsable y sustentabilidad. Al colaborar con productores y maquiladores pequeños y medianos, no solo diversificamos nuestra cadena de suministro, sino que también fortalecemos su resiliencia.

La historia de Latin Specialties

The produce industry is in our blood. Born into the fresh fruit and vegetable trade, we grew up learning the ins and outs of farming, selling, and distributing multicultural produce with our family in Mexico. Our story began in the 1960s when our father started farming strawberries and other produce in Michoacán, Mexico. Recognizing the opportunity to export Mexican produce to Europe to feed the recent waves of Indian and African immigrants there, he became one of the first to do so by air and later by steamship. Over the years, he built strong relationships with major produce distributors in Canada, England, France, the Netherlands, and Japan.

Mentored by our father, we traveled the world from a young age, absorbing the intricacies of the international produce business. In the 1990s, our family relocated to Houston to tap into the growing Hispanic market in the United States. These experiences ingrained the values of honesty, integrity, and hard work, which continue to guide our business philosophy today.

Founded in 2000, Latin Specialties has grown from these roots. We’ve evolved with the industry, heavily investing in technology, equipment, facility expansions, and certifications. This supports the small and medium-sized growers we work with, ensuring our customers receive corporate-sized efficiencies with family-style service.

Today, Latin Specialties is one of Texas’s most successful growers, processors, ripeners, and distributors of specialty produce. Based in Houston, we offer one-stop shopping for quality and specialty produce buyers. Our guiding principle, “One item, multiple presentations,” reflects our commitment to minimizing food waste and providing cost-effective produce solutions for your business. Whether whole fresh, fresh-cut, frozen, pureed, or shelf-stable, our products meet diverse needs while adhering to strict food safety, responsible sourcing, and sustainability standards.

Rooted in family values, innovation, and ethical practices, we continue to nourish communities while nurturing the environment, fulfilling the rising demand for diverse and multicultural produce. With long-standing roots and a commitment to cultivating relationships, Latin Specialties provides personalized specialty produce solutions for your business.
