CEASA RJ Grande Rio in Irajá is a physical wholesale market in Rio de Janeiro. The market began operating on 28 August 1974 and distributes food, especially fruit and vegetables; the operator also identifies fish trading. Buyers need the relevant sector and merchant, while suppliers should confirm the receiving point for their particular consignment.
In a historical account, the operator reported that almost two million tonnes passed through the Irajá complex in 2020. The directory retains both the year and the approximation. This is not an actual 2026 result or an exact 2,000,000 tonnes. It provides a sense of scale but should not replace a newer report when analysing growth or comparing markets for a common year. Differences in reference periods can otherwise create a misleading ranking.
The official pricing section provides annual archives, including 2025 and 2026. The spreadsheet therefore separates fish trading from the verified route to produce quotations. An archive labelled with a recent year does not establish that every commodity group receives a new observation each day.
The operator's FAQ distinguishes general trading hours from fish-sector hours. Recheck the schedule before travelling and agree a specific time with the merchant. An order should state net weight, grade, packaging and loading arrangements. Fish orders additionally need species, preparation form and temperature conditions. A collection route across several sectors should account for their different schedules and handling requirements.
A producer can identify an established purchasing business or ask the operator about arrangements for its own sales. Continuing activity at the complex is also documented in a 2026 operator announcement. That does not imply vacant space or permission for an unannounced shipment. Before dispatch, confirm the counterparty, price, unloading procedure, payment and treatment of rejected goods. Assess profitability using proceeds after freight, packaging and losses rather than the highest figure in a price table. A short trial order can help both sides establish whether the proposed grading and packing specification works in practice before increasing delivery volume.
