Agriculture is one of the oldest pallet applications, and one of the most demanding for food safety and export compliance. Produce pallets must be clean, food-safe, and often heat treated for international export - all while being economically viable for fresh produce operations where pallets are frequently used once and discarded.
Florida Pallet Supply delivers agricultural and produce pallets to Ashford, Alabama farms, packing houses, co-ops, produce sheds, grain elevators, and agricultural commodity distributors throughout Houston County. Our agricultural pallet program covers fresh produce pallets, citrus pallets, grain and commodity pallets, export-certified agricultural pallets (ISPM-15 required for most produce export), and specialized produce pallet sizes for specific crops.
Alabama's agricultural economy - with farming operations throughout Houston County - requires pallets that meet USDA, FDA, and import-country phytosanitary requirements. From field to cold storage to export container, proper pallet selection protects produce quality and ensures market access.
