Our Story

Our History Speaks to an Evolution of Growth

With over 75 years of experience, Seprod is still a company brimming with potential. We traversed our history wisely; gathering our experiences, amassing resources, educating our people, investing in our technologies and honing our strategies.

At J$36B in annual revenue, we are already the largest food company in the English speaking Caribbean, employing over 1500 with markets in 18 countries around the globe.

Our history speaks to an evolution of growth and a pioneering spirit. Our journey has its beginnings in the coconut industry and, along the way, has grown to span nine diverse food subsidiaries in Jamaica, Trinidad, Dominica Republic, Guyana, Barbados and Cayman Islands.

For almost a century, Seprod has been on a path to global recognition all the while remaining true to a vision to provide top quality, affordable food products to nations across the globe and we remain committed to this ideal.

It is this shared vision that brings the Seprod family together and which sets us apart.
