Worldwide Produce was founded in 1989 by La Preferida, the nationally respected Mexican food company. The original location of Worldwide Produce was in Chicago's famous South Water Market, the city's main source of fresh produce for almost a century. Initially, Worldwide Produce was intended to serve the needs of the area's Hispanic and Asian population, selling mainly to the many specialty delis and small stores in those communities.
      

Because of veteran knowledgeable buyers actually on the scene at the various foreign sources of the company's specialty product lines, Worldwide Produce acquires only the very best produce. These experienced and capable "eyes and ears," now able to communicate electronically, give our company a tremendous competitive edge over other vendors that do not have this kind of on-site expertise.
   

Over the years Worldwide Produce has expanded its product lines to include the kinds of domestically produced fruits and vegetables that are favorite staples of the American diet. In its new facilities, in the brand new Chicago International Produce Market, Worldwide Produce keeps its products always fresh with state-of-the-art computerized cooling and moisture control. We now sell, not only to Chicago's ethnic food stores as we have for so many years, but to all the major grocery chains and foodservice companies.

Our personal style of acquisition, our new facilities and our superior logistics ensure that Worldwide Produce customers receive only the finest and freshest foods no matter where their origin.
