Monty Farms

What Monty Farms does

Monty Farms is a Honduras-based B2B agricultural producer and exporter that cultivates, processes, and ships fresh fruits and vegetables to major international retail chains. The company operates as a member of Monty Group and has cultivated over 10,000 hectares since its inception, with an annual shipping capacity of more than 20,000,000 kg distributed across 15 countries in North America and Europe. Its product portfolio comprises four fresh produce lines — sweet potato, plantain, cucumber, and butternut squash — graded and packaged to retailer specifications, alongside two value-added processed products: sweet potato flour (packed in 1,000 kg bin bags) and Not-From-Concentrate (NFC) pineapple juice (packed in 220 kg aseptic bags in carton drums).

The company's underlying technology platform combines sustainable farming practices (crop rotation, minimized chemical use, extensive water management) with third-party independent farm audits, international certifications (Global Gap, Primus GFS, Sedex, SGS, OKO Granite), and temperature-controlled shipping protocols (7-13°C for fresh produce) to deliver consistent, certified produce at scale. Products follow distinct growing calendars, with plantain, sweet potato, and sweet potato flour available year-round, cucumber harvested December to March, butternut squash January to April, and pineapple juice processed January to August.

Monty Farms operates a direct-to-retail go-to-market model, supplying enterprise grocery customers including Walmart, Tesco, Kroger, Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, ASDA, LIDL, ALDI, Publix, The Fresh Market, Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie, Save A Lot, and COOP. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue mechanics rely on bulk supply contracts with grade-based pricing and customer-specific packaging requirements. The company is privately held under the Monty Group conglomerate umbrella, with 36 employees listed and operations based in Honduras (+504 phone prefix).
