Pecans
The pecan nut is native to North America, where 95% of the global pecan crop is grown in the Sun Belt, ensuring the perfect climatic conditions for growing pecans. Native Americans used the pecan trees along migration routes as a major food source in the central, Eastern and river valley of Mexico in the United States.
Jas Trading has an exclusive partnership with South Georgia Pecan Co. in Valdosta Georgia, where we are responsible for all commercial and supply chain-related activities for the Dutch market.
South Georgia Pecan Company began in 1913 as a small shelling plant owned by the Pearlman family of Valdosta. In 1967, the company became a part of the Beatrice Food Group. With the breakup of Beatrice Foods in 1983, the current owners, Jim Worn and Ed Crane, purchased the company with a commitment to quality and service that has formed it into the industry leader that it is today.
