CAAN, the Centro Agro Alimentare di Napoli, is located in Volla in the Naples metropolitan area, rather than in the city centre. It is a physical wholesale complex with separate fruit and vegetable, fish and meat sectors. Its Campania location is relevant to suppliers seeking customers in southern Italy. Buyers can identify businesses in several food categories at one complex, but orders and selling terms need to be agreed with the individual merchants rather than assumed to be uniform across the entire market.
The operator reports 37,800 m² for the produce sector and 5,000 m² for the fish sector. The profile does not state the base year for these areas. They describe sector space, not traded tonnage or the complete property footprint. The address is Via Palazziello, Località Lufrano, Volla, in the province of Naples. Administration can be contacted on +39 081 577 7200 or at info@caan.it. Transport instructions should specify Volla and the destination sector to avoid confusion with other markets serving Naples.
The public price page provides separate files for produce and fishery products. The operator describes a Monday schedule for produce reports and a Wednesday schedule for fish reports, with previous editions available by email request. Readers should nevertheless check the date printed on each file rather than relying only on the stated publication schedule. The produce bulletin dated 12 October 2026 distinguishes, among other items, chestnuts, pears, plums, onions and chicory by their commercial characteristics.
Those detailed descriptions are useful when buyers prepare comparable enquiries. For pears, naming the species alone is insufficient: variety, size and arrangement in the package can correspond to different quoted lines. Chestnuts may differ by the number of nuts per kilogram and by preparation. Buyers should also agree the net package weight and whether the lot can be inspected before loading. A published minimum or maximum does not guarantee that a merchant has the required quantity available at that level or that delivery is included in the figure.
Sellers should describe their lots using the same terminology as the intended customer: origin, grade, size, packaging and readiness date. Before establishing recurring deliveries, agree weighing procedures, quality acceptance and returnable-container arrangements. CAAN quotations can help track seasonal conditions, but payment timing and responsibility for rejected produce require separate agreement. For highly perishable goods, obtaining the direct number of the receiving employee is particularly useful. The administration's general contact is a starting point for navigation, not a substitute for confirmation that a particular wholesaler will accept the shipment.
