"Importers and Distributors of Specialty Hispanic & Jamaican Groceries and Tropical Produce"

Economic Tropical Foods continues to grow their inventory of imported Hispanic specialty foods, Jamaican specialty foods, Ethnic Cookware, and unsurpassed customer service. If you would like to carry our imported Hispanic specialty foods and Jamaican specialty foods for your grocery store, please consider us your premier distributor of imported Hispanic and Jamaican specialty foods.

In 1981 Economic Tropical Foods, carrying Imported Hispanic Specialty Foods, was founded by Frank Oliveri with one truck and no warehousing. He catered primarily to small Latin American markets in Rochester, NY driving to New York City to buy produce from wholesalers. Economic Tropical Foods, Ltd. is based in Rochester, NY.

Today, Frank and his wife Anna have grown Economic Tropical Foods to become a supplier of imported specialty Hispanic and Jamaican foods for major supermarket chains throughout Western New York and beyond without losing sight of the small ethnic stores as well. We will always pay attention to ethnic foods because we know that this is what people of the Hispanic and Jamaican cultures are looking for.
