Mascoutah IL. – North Bay Produce, Inc., in partnership with Mid America Airport, has constructed and now opened a new perishable warehouse which will facilitate the forward distribution of perishables from the North Bay Produce member production facilities located throughout the Americas.
In addition to domestic shipments, a very important part of this project is to facilitate the transit of fresh produce to China and other Asian customers through Mid America Airport which has been designated the “China Air Cargo Hub” in the United Sates.
The facility will have the ability to fresh pack blueberries, and current plans also include a high-care production wing which will create “ready to eat” product offerings.
