EMPASA’s Campina Grande branch is an agricultural and food wholesale supply centre in Paraíba. CONAB’s directory, updated in July 2024, lists Rua Dr. Vasconcelos 988, Alto Branco, telephone +55 83 3310-6601 and empasacgpb@hotmail.com. Identifying the exact branch matters: statistics or a price list for João Pessoa should not automatically be transferred to Campina Grande, even though both facilities belong to the same organisation.
A state-government announcement from February 2015 reports 154,437 tonnes traded at Campina Grande during the full 2014 calendar year, representing 46.73% of the combined volume of EMPASA’s three branches. These are historical data only. They do not measure present traffic, demand or the market’s position in 2026. The announcement covers horticultural goods and other food groups rather than one particular vegetable category.
Old observations have not been presented as today’s prices, and a general EMPASA table has not been assumed to cover every branch. Ask for a bulletin explicitly identifying Campina Grande, its observation date and the meaning of the reported trading units before using it in procurement planning.
A buyer seeking fruit or vegetables should establish the supplier, net lot weight, crate type and required ripeness. Regular retail replenishment benefits from an agreed minimum order and a clear process for reporting shortages after collection. Rather than budgeting from an old market statistic, compare current written offers from several sellers using the same specification. Transport costs and deterioration can change the ranking of otherwise similar prices. The published annual volume cannot establish that a particular commodity will be available on a future collection date.
A grower or supplier should check receiving hours, lot documentation and whether the buyer purchases outright or uses another settlement arrangement before dispatch. Agree unloading responsibility, deductions and collection of unsold goods.
