All Services
01

Sourcing at Origin

We buy first-hand at the fishing plant, the packing house, the mill or the winery, and sell to you in our own name: we take title to the goods and hold the bill of lading. No reseller in between.

Origin Pricing & Seasonal Windows

We track price, season and availability at the plants we work with, and tell you when to buy and when to wait, before we quote.

Logistics & Operations

Refrigerated or dry containers, full or consolidated, from South and Central American ports; documentation and delivery at the destination port or, in the United States, at your warehouse.

04

Compliance & Risk

We screen every counterparty against the international sanctions lists and run anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer checks (OFAC, AML and KYC) before each transaction.

We settle the Incoterm, the payment instrument and who controls the bill of lading before the cargo moves. Mercalia keeps documentary control until payment is complete.

Your Strategic Partner
at Origin
for South & Central American Food

In a market with counterparty risk and strict regulatory controls, MERCALIA Connect Group LLC works by clear rules: we screen every counterparty, document every step and tell you the truth about price, season and availability.

Full Compliance Architecture

Before every transaction we screen the counterparty against the international sanctions lists and run anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer checks (OFAC, AML and KYC). That protects our clients from legal and reputational risk. We verify every new client before onboarding: we request their corporate information sheet (CIS) and proof of funds (POF).

Verified Plants at Origin

We deal directly with export-approved plants in South and Central America. No reseller in between: we know exactly where your goods come from and how they move.

Origin pricing and seasonal windows

We track price and availability at the plants we work with, and tell you when to buy and when to wait. If the fishing window or the season does not support it, you hear that before we quote.

One point of contact, start to finish

The same person handles your business from first inquiry to delivery. No handovers, no ticket desk, no explaining your requirement twice.

Season continuity

We work with plants that freeze both at sea and onshore, which determines what presentation is available in each month of the year. We plan your supply around that real calendar, not around a promise.
