What Vicente Trapani does

Vicente Trapani S.A. is a privately held, family-owned Argentine agroindustrial company headquartered in Tafí Viejo, Tucumán Province, specializing in the production, processing, and export of fresh lemons and lemon derivatives. The company operates a fully vertically integrated model spanning certified nursery production (60,000+ seedlings per year), cultivation across more than 1,300 hectares, industrial processing (100,000-ton annual capacity), and a packing facility handling 10,000 pallets per season, with 100% of packed output destined for export markets. Underlying technologies include electronic fruit sorting, robotic packing lines, controlled fertigation, and drip irrigation systems with genetic traceability from nursery to finished product.

The product portfolio comprises concentrated lemon juice (cloudy and clarified, in conventional and organic variants), NFC lemon juice, dehydrated lemon peel, essential lemon oil, lemon essences (oil and aqueous phases), and fresh export fruit in Lisbon and Génova varieties. All products are sold B2B through direct commercial relationships with international food and beverage buyers across more than 20 countries spanning South America, North America, Europe, and Asia. Pricing is negotiated privately per buyer rather than publicly listed, and the company supports tailor-made product development for industrial clients.

Revenue mechanics rely on direct export sales of fresh fruit and value-added lemon derivatives under international food safety, sustainability, and Women-Owned Business certifications. The customer base consists of international food and beverage manufacturers and ingredient buyers requiring certified, traceable lemon inputs; no individual customer logos or revenue concentration splits are publicly disclosed. The company markets primarily through its bilingual corporate website, LinkedIn and Instagram corporate profiles, published annual sustainability reports, and direct sales engagement via dedicated commercial personnel.
