In 1971, Mr. Roberto Crespo Fitch founded “Empaque Don Jorge” (in honor of his father), as a Mexican company continuing serving the national market. Through the years the company has been in a steady growth and evolution, enabling it to place itself at the international level.

The company’s main tasks are the production and export of chili peppers and mangoes, and in a minor scale other vegetables and agricultural products of the region, such as tomatoes, green tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, etc.

In 1996 R.C.F. Produce, Inc (Roberto Crespo Fitch Produce, Inc) was established in Nogales, Arizona, as an international produce shipper using its own brand names “RCF, Crespo’s and El Rosario” for the purpose of exporting mangoes and chili peppers to The United States and Canada.
