USA
In​ 1994, we established a food trading company (General Brands International, Inc.)that specialized in the import of spices, grains, fresh produce and ingredients on a bulk basis. We sourced product direct from India, China and Central & South America and distributed LTL and FCL deliveries to both United States and Canadian markets. Our business progressed to an online business-to-business marketplace for buying and selling food products which launched online in 1997 as “The Food Trader Exchange, Inc.” then later evolved to FoodTrader.com, Inc.
