CAAR in Rimini is a physical food distribution centre at Via Emilia Vecchia 75. Its three main trading buildings accommodate produce, fish and cash-and-carry businesses. The fruit and vegetable division started operating in December 2002. Buyers can use the complex to approach several suppliers during one visit. Each supplier remains a separate commercial counterparty, so a visit does not automatically produce a combined invoice, a common price or a single purchasing agreement.
The business directory includes apples, pears, kiwifruit, citrus, tomatoes, radicchio, courgettes and mushrooms. A shop or restaurant buyer should select firms by their actual assortment and ask about minimum quantities. Fruit specifications should identify variety, size, origin and ripeness. Vegetable enquiries should also cover acceptable damage, packing and harvest timing. A directory listing establishes a supplier's advertised activity, but does not demonstrate that a particular variety is in stock on the collection date.
The operator organises access through registration and identification arrangements including cards, vehicle tags and number plates. Registration is also available for private users. Before a first visit, establish the appropriate access category, the trading hours of the required department and vehicle entry conditions. Gate opening hours may differ from the receiving hours of an individual wholesaler. Confirm the delivery appointment with the company that will actually unload the goods, especially for a mixed or refrigerated shipment.
Sellers should approach a suitable trading company, or the administration when seeking premises. Agree who purchases the consignment, when responsibility passes, how weight is recorded and when payment becomes due. For perishable goods, obtain clear instructions for unloading, temporary storage and rejected quantities. These questions are particularly useful where one vehicle carries several products for different buyers. Admission to the site itself should never be interpreted as an undertaking by a trader to purchase the shipment.
Product rows therefore describe verified supplier assortments rather than verified quotations. A regular user should ask about subscription access, publication dates, units and the method used to establish representative prices. Site access charges and property rents are separate commercial costs and must not be mistaken for agricultural product prices.
