Fortress North America
Building the World’s Most Resilient Food Supply Chain.
At Swendoza Foods, we believe that the future of food security lies in unity, not division.
Fortress North America is our mission to integrate the agricultural strength of Mexico, the United States, and Canada into one cohesive, resilient supply chain—designed to nourish communities, protect jobs, and withstand the volatility of global markets. We view trade barriers, tariffs, and political uncertainty not as obstacles, but as opportunities for private-sector leadership. Through constant collaboration with our peers in the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA), and our network of growers, cold-chain experts, and policymakers, Swendoza Foods is helping to shape a new model of supply-chain resilience—one built on transparency, efficiency, and shared prosperity.
On the ground, this mission comes to life through the work of our teams and our investments in agricultural innovation.
In central Mexico, our greenhouses grow premium grape tomatoes and we are scaling innovative products using baby cactus (nopalitos)—foods deeply rooted in Latin heritage but backed by modern science for their profound health benefits. The Mayo Clinic and other medical leaders continue to recognize nopal’s ability to reduce inflammation, support metabolic health, and regulate blood sugar levels. For Swendoza Foods, these crops are more than commodities—they’re instruments of wellness and economic empowerment. By creating dignified agricultural jobs, we give families the chance to build futures for their children and strengthen the communities that feed the continent.
Our Viva Verde™ product line embodies this vision: functional, heritage-based nutrition for every demographic across North America.
It connects the health-conscious Gen Z consumer with the traditions of their parents and grandparents, proving that cultural authenticity and modern wellness can coexist in every freezer aisle. By combining sustainable greenhouse farming in Mexico, USDA-certified logistics through Texas, and advanced cold-chain distribution into the U.S. and Canada, Swendoza Foods is engineering a supply network that rivals any in the world. This is the foundation of Fortress North America: three nations working in concert, not competition, to ensure that food remains reliable, affordable, and life-giving. Because in the end, our goal is simple—to nourish communities, empower families, and grow a future worthy of the continent we call home.
