J&C Tropicals celebrates 60 years of excellence

J&C Tropicals, a leader in the tropical produce industry, is celebrating 60 years of delivering fresh, high-quality exotic fruits, roots and vegetables to consumers across the nation. More than just distributors, J&C Tropicals serves as trusted tropical produce advisors — thinking like grocers, behaving like health-conscious consumers and helping retailers maximize their fresh tropical produce offerings.

From its humble beginnings in 1965 as a family-owned business focused primarily on growing Boniato, J&C Tropicals now distributes over 70 exceptional tropical fruits, roots and vegetables. Its offerings include mangos, avocados, guavas, rambutan, chayote, limes, yuca, ginger, boniato and plantains. It is also the nation’s No. 1 distributor of dragon fruit.

“As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we reflect on the hard work, passion, and perseverance that have defined J&C Tropicals for six decades,” said Jessie Capote, CEO of J&C Tropicals. “Our journey has been shaped by the dedication of our team, the trust of both our farming and retail partners, and the loyalty of our customers. We look forward to continuing our mission of delivering exceptional tropical produce to the world while honoring our family values and commitment to excellence.”

“Since our father founded the company in 1964, J&C Tropicals has been a pioneer in the tropical produce industry, blending tradition with innovation to bring high-quality products from farms around the world to consumers' dinner tables,” said Adrian Capote, vice president of sales at J&C Tropicals.

To mark its 60th anniversary, J&C Tropicals will host a series of special events, including community outreach initiatives and collaborations with Executive Chef Luis del Hoyo. Partners are invited to join the celebration by sharing their favorite J&C Tropicals moments using the hashtag #JCTropicals60 — because at J&C Tropicals, “We Tropic Like It’s Hot.”

“We take immense pride in the relationships we’ve built — with farmers, retailers and consumers alike,” said Christian Hosford, vice president of marketing and brand creative director of J&C Tropicals. “Our success is rooted in understanding the evolving needs of the market and delivering tropical produce that excites and inspires with education, tropical nutrition and culinary experiences. We don’t just sell produce — we create culinary experiences that position us best to educate, advise and help retailers grow their tropical produce departments in ways that resonate with today’s health-conscious shoppers.”

Looking ahead, J&C Tropicals remains committed to its mission of bringing the best of the tropics to tables everywhere, continuing to serve as the go-to partner for retailers seeking fresh, innovative and sustainably sourced tropical produce.
