Some of you may be in the same position like myself where you would like to open a business and are wondering where to source ingredients. The grocery may an option or a bulk type business like Pricesmart however I believe that going straight to the source is always the best option.
My "go-to" companies especially for bakery/cafe type items are Vemco Ltd and Hadco Ltd. So let me break them down for you one by one.
Vemco Limited.
Vemco is one of the larger distributors on the island and carries several categories/brands for any potential or existing baker. They carry Dawn ( which is a Food Service Bakery brand) KerryGold Butter and Milk, Cafe Brasil Coffee, Bruggeman Yeast, Quaker Oats, Swiss Pasta, Condiments and Peanut Butter. I use KerryGold butter in all my pastries and cakes.They are situated in Diego Martin.
Hadco Limited
Hadco Limited is also a large distributor located in San Juan, Barataria. They carry Rich's ( which is also a Food Service Bakery brand) among many other brands that you would need for your establishment.

I hope this information is helpful as ingredients costs is a major factor in your overall operational costs and sourcing good quality items at reasonable prices is vital to your operation.
Until next time....
Your Trini Baker.
