Mercapalma is a food wholesale and logistics centre in Palma de Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands. It combines produce trading with meat, fish and service businesses. For a buyer supplying the island, both supplier choice and onward distribution matter. Orders coming from the mainland require particular attention to arrival timing, product life and allowance for transport. Purchases are agreed with individual resident companies rather than through one combined offer representing the entire complex.
Mercasa's profile gives a site area of 372,856 m² without stating the base year. The address is Cardenal Rosell 182, Coll d’en Rebassa, 07007 Palma de Mallorca; telephone +34 971 745 401. The August 2026 bulletin records 10,234,277 kg of fruit and 8,763,682 kg of vegetables, combining wholesalers and growers. These are one-month quantities. Multiplying them automatically by twelve would be inappropriate because seasonality and tourism demand can change the level and composition of trade during the year.
Public monthly bulletins contain maximum, minimum and most frequent prices alongside comparisons with earlier periods. Readers need to check the reporting month and each product's unit. Fish and meat form part of the wider complex's assortment but are not automatically flagged as having verified prices in this particular bulletin.
A buyer supplying hotels or restaurants should state the required delivery days, fruit ripeness and arrangements for urgent replenishment. For a short-lived product, a lower unit price on a larger lot may not offset spoilage. Establish whether the supplier assembles mixed orders and how long prepared goods can be held before collection. Comparisons with a bulletin should account for packaging, origin, order size and transport to the point of use. Any returnable-container deposit should also be separated from the underlying commodity cost and tracked until the containers are returned.
A seller from another region should confirm both the customer and the vehicle receiving window, including what happens if a transport connection is delayed. A seasonal proposal is more useful when it identifies supply weeks, sizes and consistent quality parameters. Separate the goods, freight and packaging in the commercial offer. At the start of a relationship, a smaller trial delivery can reveal unloading time and communication quality before the programme expands to regular full-truck consignments. Retaining lot-level records will make any claim about deterioration during the journey easier to assess fairly.
