CAL Parma is a fruit and vegetable wholesale centre in Parma, Emilia-Romagna. Its current contact page gives Strada del Taglio 5/A and telephone +39 0521 989452. The Italmercati network profile reports approximately 550,000 quintals annually, equivalent to 55,000 tonnes, and 44 stand modules. Both figures come from an undated description. A module count should not be interpreted as the number of independent wholesalers or available rental spaces, and the throughput figure is not presented as a measured 2026 outcome.
The product page includes carrots, kiwifruit, apples, onions, lemons, asparagus, tomatoes and peaches, sometimes with origin, grade and a supplier name. It offers a useful starting point for selecting businesses to contact. Buyers still need to confirm present availability and pack size, and any required regional-product identification. A quotation for a crate of selected produce is not automatically comparable with a bulk price for a different grade. When planning a mixed load, ask which products can be collected together and which require separate arrangements.
The operator lists professional-buyer access from 04:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and from 05:00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, ending at 11:30. Deliveries follow separate time windows. Provide the consignee, load weight and vehicle type in advance to confirm unloading arrangements. Anyone planning a consumer purchase should check the applicable access category, since professional hours do not describe every customer group. The receiving company's readiness is especially important for arrivals overnight or close to the end of a trading session.
Sellers can seek a partner among wholesalers or ask administration about the producer area mentioned in the network profile. Agree on acceptance criteria, payment timing and the handling of quality rejections before delivery. For short-life produce, waiting time, protection from heat and prompt removal of unsold goods also deserve attention. A proposal for regular supply should explain the weekly harvest pattern and minimum and maximum consignments. These commercial questions should be resolved with the chosen partner rather than inferred from the size of the centre.
The newest label retrieved from the public price-list archive is dated 25 March 2024. Obtain a fresh quotation for negotiations, keeping its date and specification with the value. Distinguishing archived information, indicative prices and a firm delivery offer prevents an attractive old figure from being used as an unsupported purchasing assumption.
