Robinson Fresh has opened a new 142,600 square-foot produce logistics center in South Texas, located just miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The facility is specifically designed to expand the company's cross-border capabilities, positioning it to handle higher volumes of Mexican produce moving into the U.S. market.
With Mexican imports accounting for a huge share of North American fresh produce — including tomatoes, peppers, avocados, berries, and cucumbers — having dedicated, high-capacity cross-border infrastructure matters. As the USMCA review adds complexity to sourcing and new certification requirements come into play for Mexican exporters, efficient border logistics becomes even more valuable.
For buyers, this kind of investment signals that major logistics players are doubling down on Mexico as a long-term supply corridor. It could also translate into faster transit times and better cold chain integrity on cross-border shipments as capacity expands.
