Nestled in a valley surrounded by the cools hills of St. Thomas, is the small community of Seaforth where Canco Limited is located. We are proud producers of the Linstead Market Jamaica brand, formerly Country Choice. Most of our staff and suppliers of fruits and vegetables are from the surrounding areas and are familiar with the nearby farmlands. Fortunately this gives us access to the “Pick of the crop” for our products which we prepare and process in the most traditional Jamaican way… “Naturally.”
Canco has been experiencing steady growth over the years. We have made and continue to make significant improvements to the infrastructure of the factory to facilitate product diversification and to meet international and environmental standards. As of March 2007, the factory was certified under the requirements of the management system standards, ISO 14001: 2004 (Environmental Management System). All this is being done in preparation for the planned expansion of business into new markets.
Canco has been a producer of quality canned and bottled products for over twenty years (1986). Our business image has been built on our core values of quality, reliability and integrity. We are recognised as one of the leading Ackee producers in the world and have strengthened this position by implementing a working food safety system HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point).
From inception, we have been committed to social development in our community. Thus we have for many years supported the schools in Seaforth and participated in several community events and out-reach programs.
Since 1992, Canco has marketed its premier products under the Country Choice brand, mainly to the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. Recently we have re-branded
our products and are proud to announce the launch of our new brand name, Linstead Market Jamaica!
