Agriculture and food processing
Grain, produce, feed and fertiliser inputs, processing machinery, packaging lines — anything that moves food from a field to a shelf.
Email procurement Nanaimo, Canada · Havana, Cuba
CSA Corp buys from suppliers and trades goods across international markets. If you make or distribute something on our list, procurement is one email away — no portal, no vendor questionnaire, nobody standing between you and a decision.
The company
CSA Corp is a holding company that buys products from suppliers and moves them across international markets — import or export, whichever direction the trade runs.
You are most likely reading this after an email from us, working out whether we are worth a reply. So here is the unvarnished version: we are early. There is no client roster on this page, no case studies, no wall of certifications — because we have not earned them yet, and inventing them would be the quickest way to lose a supplier worth having.
What we can offer instead is directness. Two offices with street addresses you can look up. Two phone numbers that ring. One procurement address, read by the people who decide what gets bought. No portal to register on, no onboarding form standing between your catalogue and a person.
Procurement interests
Seven areas we are actively looking at. Read the list as a direction rather than a fence — if your product sits alongside one of these rather than squarely inside it, send it anyway.
Grain, produce, feed and fertiliser inputs, processing machinery, packaging lines — anything that moves food from a field to a shelf.
Structural steel, cement and aggregates, heavy equipment, fixtures, and the fittings that finish a building.
Solar modules, inverters, storage, water treatment, and equipment that generates, stores, or saves energy.
Extraction and drilling equipment, spare parts, and the industrial consumables that mining and energy sites reorder constantly.
Consumer devices, small appliances, lighting, cabling, components, and accessories — branded or white-label.
Packaged food, beverages, dry goods, and pantry staples in retail or wholesale formats.
Cleaning products, paper goods, kitchenware, personal care — the things a shop restocks every week.
Getting in touch
Nothing formal is required. But these four things let us come back with a decision instead of another question.
Company name, where you operate from, and the person we will be dealing with. A website or registration number saves us looking.
Product lines, models, specifications, packaging. A catalogue or spec sheet attached beats a paragraph describing one.
Indicative pricing, minimum order quantity, lead time, and the Incoterms you work on. Ranges are fine — we are not holding you to them.
Certifications, export documentation, existing freight arrangements. If it would come up by the third email, put it in the first.
Questions
The points most people want settled before they spend time writing to a company they have not heard of.
Both, depending on the deal. We buy on our own account, and we also source against requirements from trade partners. We will tell you which one applies to your product before terms come up.
We are early. There is no client list or case-study page here because we have not earned one yet, and manufacturing proof would be the fastest way to lose a supplier worth having. What exists is on this page: two offices, two phone numbers, and one procurement address.
No. Nanaimo and Havana are where our offices are, not the limits of where goods go. We handle import and export across international markets, and the route depends on the product and the buyer.
Please do. PDFs, spec sheets, and price references are read. They are considerably faster than three emails of description.
Yes — including when the answer is no. If your product is not something we buy, we would rather say so in the first week than leave you following up into silence.
Supplier introductions and sourcing enquiries go to procurement@csa-corp.ca. Name a person we can reply to and include enough for us to understand the offer.
Contact
One address, read by the people who decide what gets bought.
