Itaocara, also described as Ponto de Pergunta or Unidade Noroeste Fluminense, is a CEASA-RJ facility in Jaguarembé on RJ192, km 0. These names should be retained as aliases of a single location when maintaining a directory. The operator's profile lists tomatoes, courgettes and sweet potatoes among its products. For sellers it is a potential regional assembly point; buyers can investigate it as a source of consignments for onward transport and resale.
In Conab's 2024 compilation, Ponto de Pergunta records 26,909,954 kg and ranks 46th in the horticultural throughput table. The position applies only to the facilities covered by that compilation, not to all markets worldwide. Figures were read from the indexed contents of the official publication; the direct download led to a sign-in page. Annual throughput cannot be used to promise continuous availability of a particular product or to infer how many suppliers will be present on a specific trading day.
A tomato enquiry should define the commercial type, size, ripeness and acceptable proportion of damaged fruit. A lot intended for same-day sale may differ from one suitable for a longer journey. Courgette buyers should consider size consistency and protection from abrasion; sweet-potato buyers should specify cleaning and skin condition. A representative sample and packing description are more useful than a single general photograph. These are practical criteria for evaluating an offer, not a claim that the market imposes one official specification on every transaction.
The operator gives Monday and Thursday hours of 09:00–21:00 and telephone +55 22 3863-1112. Trading concentrated on selected days requires transport planning in advance. Sellers should establish whether the receiving party buys on its own account or arranges a later sale. Agree payment timing, unloading costs and treatment of uncollected goods. Using an independent trading space requires separate confirmation of arrangements and charges with the administration. A long published opening period does not mean that a particular buyer will receive goods at any time within it.
It has not been replaced by Irajá quotations or municipality-wide agricultural production prices. For comparison, establish whether an observation concerns a producer sale, wholesale trade or a later distribution stage. An actual transaction requires a dated offer with a defined unit, quality and collection terms. Retaining the Ponto de Pergunta alias will also help prevent the same facility being added again when the directory is expanded.
