Our Story

At Robben Wholesale Distribution, we are a dedicated partner in sustainable agriculture, fresh Asian produce, and premium wholesale produce programs.

With more than 35 years of farming experience and 12,000 acres of family-owned farmland across Mexico and Canada, Robben stands as North America's leading Asian produce grower, shipper, and distributor.

Our strength comes from being directly tied to the source. As our growing capacity and sourcing network continue to expand, we stay focused on quality, consistency, careful handling, and long-term relationships with distributors, wholesalers, and retailers.

Our Mission

Bringing Distinctive Produce to More Markets

Our mission is to introduce a broad and distinctive mix of Asian vegetables, specialty produce, and seasonal fruits from our farms and sourcing network to previously under-supplied channels.

We build long-lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships with distributors, wholesalers, and retailers by offering scale, quality-focused selection, and direct connection to the source.
