What QUISQUEYA FOODS LTD does

Quisqueya Foods Ltd (DBA: Quiskeya Foods) is a privately held food import, export, and distribution company founded in July 2015 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. The company sources, distributes, and selectively private-labels a broad portfolio of staple and Caribbean-targeted food and household products across six categories: rice (jasmine, long grain, parboiled, basmati), beans and grains, pasta and canned foods, oils and condiments, beverages, and cleaning supplies. It operates its own registered 'Quiskeya' private label brand covering rice, oils, coconut milk, and juices, while also distributing third-party brands such as Pasta Mama, Libon, and Shake Up/Nectar beverages.

The company's distribution network spans three warehouse sites — Miami (headquarters), Orlando, and Sint Maarten — serving 13+ US states (Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Boston) and 16+ international markets across the Caribbean, French Guyana, France, and Canada. Customers include mass-market and regional retail chains (Walmart, Key Food Fresh, Presidente Supermarket, Bravo) alongside a long tail of independent Caribbean-focused grocers (Diaz Supermarket, Foodtown, Caribbean Supercenter, Graceway, Sunny Foods, Broward, Spend Less, Topvalue, BabyFood).

The revenue model is straightforward physical-goods distribution: one-time sale of imported and private-label food and household products to retail partners and, through them, end consumers, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines a B2B retail partnership motion (supermarket chains and Caribbean distributors) with a downstream direct-to-consumer presence via those same retail shelves, supported by multilingual customer service in Haitian Creole, French, English, and Spanish. Marketing relies on the company website (with downloadable product flyers, business cards, and a product catalog PDF), active social media channels, and QR codes on packaging. No digital platform, proprietary technology stack, or AI/ML capability is disclosed; the business is fundamentally an operations-and-distribution-led enterprise.
