🌾 Caribbean Grain Company (CBC) — Diri MEGA Haiti

Caribbean Grain Company S.A. (CGC) is a Haitian agro-industrial and food-distribution company specializing in the importation, storage, packaging and distribution of staple food commodities, particularly rice and other grains. Established in 2009, the company operates within the broader Acra Group business environment and has developed a significant position in Haiti's food-import and distribution sector.

Its activities center on supplying the Haitian market with essential food commodities at competitive prices, supported by bulk-handling, storage, packaging and distribution infrastructure. Public industry sources identify Caribbean Grain as a major Haitian rice importer, while trade and customs records also document its involvement in edible-oil imports.

🏢 Company Overview

Founded in 2009, Caribbean Grain Company was established to participate in Haiti's growing agro-food and staple-commodity market. The company's stated mission is to make quality food products available to Haitian consumers at competitive and accessible prices while promoting wider availability throughout the national market.

The business specializes principally in rice and other grain commodities, including rice, corn and beans, and has historically operated a bulk-grain terminal with receiving, silo-storage and bagging capabilities. Public company information describes a receiving plant with silos and a bagging system designed for high-volume grain handling.

Caribbean Grain's competitive strength is its combination of commodity sourcing, bulk handling, storage, packaging and nationwide distribution rather than simply acting as a conventional food wholesaler. Its port-linked infrastructure has historically allowed imported commodities to be received in bulk and transferred into storage and packaged formats for subsequent distribution.

The company's scale is also reflected in Haitian customs data. Caribbean Grain ranked second among non-petroleum companies by customs duties and taxes paid in fiscal year 2022–2023, with more than HTG 2.92 billion in duties and taxes recorded. In fiscal year 2023–2024, it ranked third, with more than HTG 2.04 billion in duties and taxes.

The company's role remains particularly significant in Haiti's rice market. A 2025 USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report identified Caribbean Grain as a rice importer and reported that the company was constructing a 100,000-bag warehouse in the Cap-Haïtien area, intended to strengthen its northern distribution presence.

Compared with smaller food wholesalers, Caribbean Grain's differentiators include its bulk-import capability, dedicated grain-handling infrastructure, packaging capacity, established distribution network and substantial participation in Haiti's staple-food import market.
