United States Department of Agriculture Files Action Against Cantero Produce Corp. for Alleged PACA Violations



WASHINGTON, DC - Alleged violations of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) have come across the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) radar. The USDA has filed an administrative complaint against Florida-based Cantero Produce Corp. for allegedly failing to make payment promptly to two produce sellers in the amount of $412,050 from August 2022 through September 2022.

Direct from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service:

Cantero will have an opportunity to request a hearing. Should USDA find that the company committed repeated and flagrant violations, it would be barred from the produce industry as a licensee for three years, or two years with the posting of a USDA-approved surety bond. Furthermore, its principals could not be employed by or affiliated with any PACA licensee for two years, or one year with the posting of a USDA-approved surety bond.
