Florida grows more fresh vegetables than any other state in winter. Tomato, pepper, cucumber, and squash packinghouses across Immokalee, Homestead, and the Suncoast depend on consistent food-safe pallet supply to keep fresh produce moving to market.
Fresh vegetables move on tight timelines. A pallet shortage or a rejected non-compliant pallet at the packinghouse dock can delay shipments that have zero shelf-life buffer.
Florida vegetable packinghouses in Collier, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties process millions of cartons per season. Every carton exits on a 48x40 GMA pallet headed to grocery distribution centers, foodservice warehouses, or export terminals. Florida Pallet Supply maintains deep stock of GMA pallets - both new and Grade A recycled - for immediate delivery across all Florida vegetable production corridors.
Food safety is non-negotiable in fresh produce. Pallets contacting fresh vegetable packaging must meet cleanliness standards aligned with FDA produce safety rules and FSMA requirements. For export vegetable shipments through Port of Miami or Port of Tampa, we supply ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets with certification documentation. See our Florida agriculture pallet solutions page for regional coverage details.
