Chico Produce Team
WHO WE ARE

Built by Retailers, For Retailers.

Founded by Rob Ybarra, a 45-year industry veteran. We bridge the gap between the field and the shelf.

Chico Produce was founded on a simple premise: Buyers deserve better. Our founder, Rob Ybarra, spent decades running produce departments for major chains like H-E-B. He knows the frustration of “shrink,” late trucks, and inconsistent grading.

That’s why we built a different kind of import company. We don’t just move boxes; we act as an extension of your buying team. By cutting out unnecessary middlemen and sourcing directly from our partner families in Mexico and South America, we deliver higher margins for you and fresher produce for your customers.

Retail-Ready Specs

We pack to your specific grade standards to ensure high sell-through and low shrink.

Farm-to-Fork Speed

Direct logistics lanes mean your fruit spends less time in a warehouse and more time on the shelf.

On-Time In-Full (OTIF) Commitment 100%
Grower Transparency 100%

Honoring Tradition. Feeding the Future.

Our company is named after our founder’s grandson, “Chico” (born 2023). This name is a daily reminder that we are building a legacy of integrity for the next generation. We believe in “Fair Trade” not just as a label, but as a practice. We ensure our growers are paid fairly so they can invest in food safety and their communities. When you buy from Chico Produce, you are supporting a sustainable supply chain that values people and purpose over paper.
