CEOOur Story
Founded in 2012, Carter Pecan began with a simple idea and a hands-on approach:
to create better access and opportunities for pecan growers and processors in an evolving global market. Since then, we’ve grown steadily—from a focused exporter to a fully integrated operation that includes growing, shelling, packing, and supplying high-quality, USDA No. 1 certified pecans.
Today, with operations across the U.S., Mexico, South America, and South Africa, and exports to over 30 countries, we work to bridge the gap between growers and buyers around the world.
While our reach has grown, the values we started with haven’t changed.
We care deeply about quality, integrity, and sustainability. That shows up in the choices we make—from reducing waste and improving energy efficiency in our facilities to working with growers who share our commitment to regenerative farming practices. Sustainability isn’t just a target—it’s woven into the way we do business.
We believe a strong, resilient pecan industry starts with taking care of the land, the communities we’re part of, and the people behind the work

Why Us
At Carter Pecan, we work closely with growers across the United States, Mexico, South America, and South Africa to offer a wide selection of pecans in various grades and sizes. Our flexible approach to pricing and packaging—whether it’s wholesale, retail-ready, bulk supersacks, or full container loads—lets us support a range of customers, from small businesses to global distributors.
Our own orchards are based in Argentina, where we manage pecan trees across hectares in Catamarca Province. These orchards are central to our summer harvest and reflect our ongoing commitment to sustainable farming, responsible land use, and environmental stewardship.
As one of the world’s leading pecan exporters, we maintain high standards for quality. Every shipment is carefully inspected by experienced professionals to ensure it meets or exceeds expectations.
With teams on the ground in five countries, we’re able to offer smooth, responsive communication and a streamlined trading experience, shaped by years of working in local and global markets.
Whether you’re growing, buying, or somewhere in between, we’re here to help—focusing on long-term relationships, consistent supply, and shared values around sustainability and trust.
