CEAGESP Ribeirão Preto is a regional wholesale centre in the interior of São Paulo state, located at Avenida Luiz Maggioni 4005, Distrito Empresarial. Its operator lists potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, oranges, onions, watermelons, pumpkins and strawberries among important products. It is a physical distribution market relevant to supply arrangements for retailers, food service and further intermediaries. It is not a futures exchange or an automatic online shop in which a published product list constitutes a binding offer.
RCIA’s February 2025 publication, citing CEAGESP data, reports 195,319 tonnes and BRL 827,868,938 of commodity turnover for 2024. These figures refer to one branch and one year. The monetary total is the value of goods traded by participants, not the administration’s profit or fee income.
The operator publishes differentiated loading windows: weekdays from 05:30 to 13:00, and night loading on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 16:00 to midnight. A buyer should agree which window applies to the particular order. For a mixed load, establish whether all lots will be ready together and who assembles them. This can reduce vehicle waiting time and avoid unnecessary interruptions to the temperature control of sensitive products while less perishable items are collected.
Suppliers should state shipment size, origin, packaging and whether partial sale is acceptable. Strawberries require different handling from onions or pumpkins, so a mixed vehicle needs agreed conditions for each lot. Keep supplier identification and net-weight records separate. Payment terms and handling deductions should be settled with the contracting business; they cannot be inferred from broad information about the market’s size. A large annual market volume is not evidence of a guaranteed outlet for an individual consignment.
Verify the city, date, variety, grade and unit before relying on any series. Regular buyers may benefit from keeping their own dated record of supplier offers and actual delivered costs, which makes later comparisons more useful than an isolated headline quotation.
